Hi,
While I generally schedule fuel additive treatments around oil change intervals, its important to maintain context with some of the above information.
The vast majority of 911 oil systems contain 10-12 quarts of oil and that does not become diluted in the same fashion as the average car's wet-sump system containing 5-8 qts.
If a fuel additive is used properly, no matter whether its Techron, LubroMoly, BG, Swepco, etc, I don't think one suffers any ill effects or lubrication-related problems. Moderation, like in most situations, is the key.

Thanks to everyone for your inputs. I will add it without fear and change the oil at some point afterwards.
