The problem with additives is that some contain metals that will "poison" the catalyst and render it useless (and usually plugged). WVO/SVO contain carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen only if properly prepared. The only other contaminants would be proteins, and those only cause plugging of filters, not catalyst damage.
