Just store you bottles upside down. Then the precious additives will then settle to the cap of the bottle and thus come out first when pouring oil into the engine.
Shake before serving?

No shaking done here,just pour in and be done!
Gee, this discussion makes the "do you prefill your filters" not strange at all!
Always shake.

The only oils I've ever seen with deposits on the bottom are always dinos. The only synth I ever saw deposits in was Mobil 1 75W90 GL5 gear oil. It had a crust on the bottom that wouldn't break up and mix in. Synth motor oils though,I've never seen any deposits whatsoever. I have a 6-8 year old half quart of Amsoil AGL that sat undisturbed all those years,and when I recently found it,there were no deposits at all,still looked perfect.
Shaking puts a lot of air into the oil and prob causes more problems than the imaginary lack of additives.

The first time I used PU I looked inside the container (5 qt.) after I poured it into the engine. There was a dark film at the bottom of the container. Could it have been the add pack? 
I now shake ALL containers, including qts., prior to pouring.

i store them upside down, as mentioned in a previous post--but if you get a chance to look at the (older) QS syn bottles they usually have some crud at the bottom in the corners--which i shake and shake till it's gone. I think many of you may be missing the show as it's not a clear bottle you are looking at
Used to.
Now... I get the wife to shake 1st bottle for about a minute. Then I'll pour while she shakes the next and so on. Sometimes I tell her "harder" and its kind of fun to watch because she thinks its important. At least I tell her it is.
