I spent 28 years in the Automotive Aftermartket with the country's largest distributor of auto parts and supplies and there is not an additive I would waste my money on.

Shell Rotella T is the oil of choice since manufacturers have taken a lot of the additives out of our regular oil choices.
We've experienced cam failure on two new rebuilds and on a newly broken in motor after changing the oil after the breakin (with Penzoil 30 wt.).
Comp Cams recommended running 1/2 bottle of breakin additive per oil change on regular (non-synthetic, non-Rotella T) oil to compensate.
On our cars, do not use synthetic unless you're willing to accept the possible consiquences.
Like the man says, you pays your money and you takes your chances.
