You need to watch out that the use of this type of aftermarket additive doesn't affect your warranty in the event of an engine issue. Personally I would go with more regular changes of the recommended oil.

only thing that actually may help you is proper octain booster.. esp on very hot days.. i used to add some 110octain gas on my evo during very hot days / track days to avoud knock counts..

Snake oil. Prolong, that is.

Motul oil is good, but no oil will give you extra HP. I generally have been using Amsoil in my cars.
