No, likely not. But that tiny amount is not likely to do any GOOD either.

I have personal experience with one person who put in 4 ounces (16 teaspoons ??) and the clutch started slipping a week later. Changed the oil and the slip stopped.

I absolutely LOVE MMO.....for some things, including freeing stuck rings in old engines.....but NOT for motorcycle OIL.

Modern oils do NOT need any additives.
