Default German Castrol Oil Question

I have a real quick question. I plan on getting that German Castrol 0w30 real soon, and I'm wondering if it would benefit me at all to put some Lucas additive in the oil.

Do I need to get dwayne in here ..

The stuff isnt anything to write home about. IT's not going to cause your car to blow up, but it certainly doesnt help anything. SNAKE OIL it be. just run your regular oil and be done.

There are very few oil additives that actually are good for your car

If you are going to run German Castrol then I would guess that there are at least equal probably better additives in there already.
