The counter point here is what can it hurt? I can't see a downside, so
I'll give it a try... Sphincter muscle appropriately puckered while
changing the stupid oil & filter.

On that Oil Additive page that a member posted the URL to a while ago,
they talked about running an engine with an additive, then draining, and
doing the same with another engine and not adding an additive and then
draining and then running both engines without oil. Both engines
survived some (cant remember how many) hours (alot of 'em though)
without locking up and didn't really cause THAT much damage considering
how long they had been running. How can just a minute hurt?
