I'm sure they are assuming that it is being used in a modern,
cat-equipped car. They don't want you to cook your cat by adding it
to the oil with each change, I would assume. With the disclaimer,
they are disavowing any responsibility for its use as an
additive. That doesn't necessarily mean that it's not a good
additive package, just that it's not the "intended" use.
I'm somewhat intrigued by their recommendation to coat the cylinder
walls with the stuff. I our cars, I suspect that the rings would
have a hard time seating with that treatment.
