I agree with Charley=E2=80=A6 I did that for a while but it was =
inconvenient, and once I found a proper oil it was pointless.
Consider, if you have to top off your oil by adding a quart between =
changes (as is common), are you also adding the exact proportional =
amount of your additive? It=E2=80=99s just impractical to deal with on a =
regular basis. There is nothing magical about Castrol 20W50.
