Side note: I did a quick estimate, and it seems that in my case the Ceratec would need to add 2 mpg to pay for itself. That assumes the car had 60 mpg before, and the gas price is $3 per gallon. It also assumes the Ceratec additive will last 30k miles (which is what Liqui Moly claims). But those are just estimates. Real world results may differ.
And for anyone who is following along, the "break even point" for you will differ based on your existing fuel economy and the price of fuel in your area. But generally speaking, the lower your FE and the higher the gas price, the more likely you will see a benefit.

Oh you're good then. I wouldn't worry about messing with a car that only consumes essentially a quart every 10k. thats A- territory. Just keep the pcv system loop cleaned up and kink free and you'll be as good as it gets. And keep changing the oil every 5k or less.
