Additives are up to you but in my opinion are not required with a premium oil.

I would suggest avoiding oil additives all together. Remember oils are developed to work by themselves without the addition of an unknown.

Then why use a synthetic oil. Not bashing, but it seems like a waste of money IMO.

3,000 mi is short enough and an excelent change date, unless you rag your truck or car out everyday.
