Dont do it...
Spend your money on a good oil (5W30)- Mobil 1 / Royal Purple / Swepco / Redline / Amsoil and a good filter - K&N or Napa Gold.
You wont go wrong..

Redline 5W-20 , will work better than any oil additive you can buy!

go with synthetic if you want to spend extra $$. It is better than Slick 50. Here is my recommendation:

Get Mobil1 fully synthetic 5W30 in the 5 Quart pail which is available at Walmart.
Get a good oil filter for your synthetic oil
Get a bottle of fuel injection cleaner ($4.99) for your gas tank.

You are good to go!

Never used the oil additives, but can vouch for a good fuel additive. I like the Gumout Fuel Injector Cleaner (white bottle - the cheap one); usually can pick up a K-Mart or WallieWorld (Wal-Mart) for about $2 a bottle, and I add it to an (almost) empty tank before fill-up. I do it about every 3K miles, and it seems to help acceleration and fuel mileage.

fuel injectors cleaners do just that clean fuel injectors. Fuel system cleaners supposely cleans the injectors, fuel lines, and the whole channel of contacts that your fuel goes thru. Personally I can't tell the difference and I'd just buy the injector cleaners.
