oil additives, Prolong?

Now that you oil nerds have converted me to running Mobil 0W-40 or Amsoil 0W-30 in Wisconsin, I am wondering if I am degrading the excellent performance of these oils by puting Prolong oil treatment (or anything you consider better than Prolong) in perhaps a smaller than recomended amount.
Condidering that I fried my turbo in the old 9000 while running the much maligned Castrol Syntec series oil (5W-50) and had a whole THING of Prolong in there, I wonder if Prolong is all that helpful, despite what Mr Unser says.
I could run the prolong in my lawnmower to use it up, I suppose.
Any comments about oil additives???
