Oil additives?

I'm about to change my oil and would like to add a few qts of the additive that reduces injector stiction. There seems to be two popular ones on the market and would like to know which is preferred. Should I still continue to use 5W-40 synth or go back to dino 15w-40?

With RevX you add two 4oz bottles, not anything close to "a few quarts". I'd stay with the 5W40 synth, and use the RevX if you're having problems.

I found a local garage that sells Hot Shot's Secret and added the contents when i changed out my oil. That's the stuff I was referring to in a 2 qt jug but couldn't remember the name. Let's see if it helps my stiction problem in a few thousand miles.
