That's what most boosted guys use. I do the same. It is more noticeable after an oil change. I have been looking to try some Motul X-Cess 5W-40.

Not to hijack this thread, but what's your issue with Seafoam? I've never added it to the oil, but I've been using it as a gas additive in all of my engines (cars, tractors, lawn mowers, snow blower, etc.) for years with no issues at all. I've also used it to clean out the intake of an old lawn mower and the difference it made was tremendous.
