On the eve of the Los Angeles Motor Show, General Motors announced a large-scale restructuring of its business, during which eight plants would be closed (five of them in North America) and about 15,000 employees were laid off.

Topping up with new servings of oil slightly restores the amount of additives and fractional composition, but this measure is not enough for long.
