    Trying to improve modern motor oil is a very chancy. Consider that the
    amount of oil used by non-commercial users is very small as compared to the
    commercial users. Oil companies will do all they can to keep their large
    customers, and any "super" additive would make them a bunch of money. They
    make the best oil with the best additives they can to gain and keep big
    customers.

    In my investigation of bypass oil filters I read technical reports from, and
    interviewed several commercial and government users of diesel engines that
    ran long and hard. None of them used any after-market oil additive.

    Look to the engine API requirements for the engine's oil requirements and
    then keep it clean.
