Its usless IMO, alot of research goes into OIL and its chemical makeup, why mess up that chemical balance with a foriegn substance.
ask yourself why do you feel you need it?
it wont add HP or free up HP if anything you will lose a little HP from the oil being a thicker weight.
I look at is as the same lines of ricers adding wings an octain booster to their car, it gives them the feeling they are faster, but it really didnt do anything.

I tried their stabilize once and the next oil change i had significantly more metal caked on my drain plug magnet than with any other oil change. Stay away from that stuff.

The only stuff I would ever mix in with oil:
-AutoRX
-Seafoam (for short periods of time)
-Marvel Mystery Oil
But generally, just stick to a good oil like German Castrol or Amsoil, etc., change your oil on time, and you shouldn't need that stuff.

All of those oil additives have teflon in them. Why is this bad? Well teflon is EXTREMELY sticky and gummy, do you want that substance floating around your engine when oil needs to be slick and smooth?

Got proof? People on Bobistheoilguy like those things, and BITOG is the most respected oil information site around. Why should I believe you? I've used Seafoam and AutoRX and had good results so far.
