Let me clear that up for you once and for all seeing as you insist on using it.
A new engine or an engine bought new and has run modern spec quality synthetics PU, PP, M1 etc exclusively probably does not need any OTC additives added to the oil.
They serve little or no purpose in an engine run on these oils and the engine would probably not benefit much from using them IMHO.
But all that goes becomes irrelevant with a used engine or unknown maintenance schedules or have run older spec oils not known for their ability to keep the engine clean.
To clean up an older engine you first need to start with a quality oil with decent cleaning abilities and use the correct product to perform the desired results e.g. a solvent that removes varnish to quieten a sticking lifter, etc.
Using additives in an attempt to improve the oils basic qualities to those of a better oil is like trying to turn a dog into a fox.
Using MMO in this case does not fit that scenario. The OP is only trying to reduce the oils viscosity with the product not enhance the oil in some way.
You are once again using parts of a post out of context in some childish attempt at disrupting the thread as usual.
