I strongly recommend against using additives of any type. If they were
really beneficial, the better oils would come with them already. Independent
tests I've seen have shown detrimental effects of many of them, additives in
the oil can cause foaming and clog oil passageways, and in gearboxes they
can cause foaming which starves parts of lubrication. Just use a quality
synthetic fluid and change it at reasonable intervals.
