Default Anyone using Oil Additives

I know most oils (especially full synthetics) have additive packages in them. That being said, does anyone occasionally put a little something exta in their oil every once in a while. If so, what do you use and how has it helped?

I used Marvel Mystery oil for a few changes and it eliminated by clanking on startup.

I am toying with the idea of cycling between regular RP and HP RP. Would have the same effect, I think.

I'm using Amsoil 5w-30 signature series oil. No extra additives needed when running a superior engine oil.

That is my point. Cycling between RP and Synerlic RP instead of an additive.

I wouldn't even bother cycling between oils, use one good oil and stick with it, IMO.
