If you mean running Mystery Oil in the crankcase. DO NOT do that. Additives just mess up the specific properties of the oil and in general cause more wear and damage than they do help. Only put OIL where the OIL is supposed to be.

Also, I'd stick with a 5w40 synthetic diesel oil since it probably gets pretty cold where you are there in NH. Anything higher will only increase wear and make starting more difficult in the cold. I've had 5w40 synthetic in mine for 55k with only great results.
