I must add that I have extremely pleased with additives on gasoline engines (at 25 deg Celsius all year round) as you considerably increase the service time with minimal loss of viscosity. Quite pleased!

Much appreciation as always,

Theres always lot of opinions on additives and this is mine
I say use a good oil/filters and change as per the recommended schedule.

I heard of plenty of owners who swear by additives and the manufacturers offer plenty of guarantees but they always seem short on independant,correctly audited scientific proof (show me some if someone has it).

Ive also never seen a car maker or oil company approve them for use with their products, but I have an open mind
