According to the good doctor Raby it may actually make things worse. The lifters are at the end of the lubrication stream. An additive may cause any contaminants cleaned from the engine to be deposited in the lifters which are not flow through, potentially causing them to fail. This is another good reason to keep up on oil changes.
