gotta be careful with additives in a rotary engine, i have pulled apart a few where the oil control o-rings just completely disappeared.

if it aint broke, don't fix it.

generally the no smoke additives which basically are used to soften seals but it appears in this case they deteriorated the seals. just saying i prefer not to use additives in rotaries since most additives out there on the market are aimed at piston engines so it is a gamble with everything you toss in there that the oil seals may not like it.
