The oil companies already use additives that are specific to the base stock available.

IDK.....I'm still a bit skeptical. I just ordered an 8 month supply of opti lube. All of the diesel heads recommend it so I figure for $50 bucks I'll give it a shot. I don't think it will hurt anything. At the end of the day I'll just be out $50. That better odds than I've done in my retirement fund.
