You're most certainly free to solve the problem however you see fit, but are you prepared to have a future legitimate warranty claim denied because you tried to DIY this? If the oil additive gums up the VVEL system, which is very finicky and relies on oil to operate, are you ok footing the bill for repair since it's a direct result of your action?
It does sound stupid but at this point with their record history with me, I'll take my chances with the internet. I don't do anything unless it's really documented everywhere and hundreds/thousands of people use it, even with simple mods. For example, I'm sure you balanced the weights between keeping the warranty or going TT. You trust GTM enough and their work to do so. Things get a lot more complicated and hairier boosting a N/A, especially one that is known to have weak rods.
