Did you just add it to the 6 quarts, or did you substitute the measurements?

Some do. It's safe to use Techron.

I'd like to see someone do a long term test on these things. MM oil, seasfoam, whatever. Someone needs to get two 0-mile engines, and run both to 250,000 miles. One uses product X and the other uses nothing. Crack 'em open and take pics. That would be a good comparison.
