I haven't done this myself, but I've recently watched this YouTuber doing testing on oil additives.
Link to playlist:
Link to 1 video comparing the betteroil fuel additives *edit, these are fuel ones sorry*:
There's a few hours of interesting watching and he is probably the most thorough and impartial tester I've seen with this stuff.
Hope it helps!

I’ve had my 987.2 base with 104k miles for six months, put 6k on her. I’ve given her two oil changes and each time I put in a quart of Lucas oil treatment. I also add a few oz’s if Lucas fuel treatment. I’ve used this in Volvo’s, Mercedes diesels, Honda’s Toyota’s.
A few years back my nephew was following me in a Ford F-250, it started smoking. When I went back to see what was wrong, he was low on Tranny fluid and knew the tranny needed replaced. I just happen to have the right tranny fluid but not enough without adding Lucas Tranny stop slip. His dad is a great mechanic and is against oil treatments. When we got to camp I apologized for adding the stuff. Anywho a few weeks went by and I asked how much it cost to replace the tranny? He said the tranny had been running fine. It lasted another two years before they replace it.
i know in the owners manual it states that Porsche engines are designed to run without them. However I doubt they have even experimented with any because of Mobil 1.
