Default Fuel additives/Oil additives....

Does oil additives work and what do they do? Im mainly talking about the Lucas Oil additives. what are the additives suppose to do?
This also goes for the fuel additives and the fuel injection cleaner, the ones made by STP or LUCAS? Im not talking about the octane booster, the other stuff that clanes the injectors and makes the car run better.Does it work/ help your car?

I don't know, lucas has been in the racing business for who knows how long, and their products are among the most recommended, but I'll give the others a try too, I guess it can't hurt, I hope...
