I don't know of any good reason to put additional additives in a quality synthetic oil. These oils already contain a mixture of additives that are designed to work together as blended. Unless your a chemist, your addition of an extra additive could work to upset the designed chemical balance of the oil.

With today's high tech oils, things like STP are yesterdays news IMO, other than in specialized applications.

Just out of curiosity, why did you add this to an airplane engine? I've owned an Archer for years w/engines from both Penn Yan and Mattituck. I've never heard of an airplane engine manufacturer recommending this.
