Archived from groups: alt>autos>toyota (more info?)
Question One: Thought the clutch was slipping (noticed this twice).
Nothing unusual now for a week. Could this still be a bad clutch?; In
other words, will this happen slowly (slipping) over time? Or will a
clutch just begin slipping and then the whole process goes quickly,
which means replacing with a new clutch almost right away?

Question two: 154,00 miles: So could I use, say, STP oil treatment?
Now I know Toyota doesn't recommend this. But, could STP oil treatment

really hurt the car? Couldn't it help to maintain good lubrication.
What really could be the danger? I would add it at every new oil change.

Yes, the clutch could be worn or bad. If it is worn, it will get worse
until the slipping is very noticeable.

Pass on the oil treatment and use good quality motor oil instead. A good
quality motor oil has all the additives the engine needs.

If you are using Mobil One, I definitely would not add STP or any other oil
additives.

Using an additive with Mobil One is like putting ketchup on sushi or
chateaubriand. Even though it won't hurt anything, why would you want to?
