Generally your manual is your guide. You may want to have the oil pressure tested. You are looking for a min. of 10psi per 1000rpm. If it is near or below that figure you may want to change to a slightly heavier oil as this is an indication of some bearing wear which equates to slightly larger clearances. You do not need any additives or "special" hi-mileage oil. Modern oil's already have all the additives needed to prevent lubrication and cooling failures. Fancy oils are like fancy fishing lures, they are specifically designed to remove money from the pockets of the buyers.
