Ceratec is the same crap in the regard it also falls out of suspension and brings little or nothing of value. I don't see them using that in any of their own product either.
The snake oil market is one huge profit maker. I wonder if they still sell pills you drop down the plug holes for an instant engine rebuild.
And you beloved "oil is the only thing you need, from manufacturer cause they know best" seems to fall out of suspension as well. But let me guess, that's totally acceptable.
Over the last 48 years I have measured the internals of many engines and seen engines with over 200K on them that have only used one brand and weight of oil their whole life that had wear so minimal the parts did not need to be changed or engine bored. The only reason the engine was apart was to change a stretched cam chain.
So yes the engine oil alone did a fantastic job with not one drop of snake oil added.
