DON'T DO IT!!!
I tried it once in my Heritage (1/2 quart on an oil change, about 10%).
After a nice run of about 30 miles, I pulled the dipstick while it was idling and the oil was FULL of little bubbles, not foamy, just lots of little bubbles in the oil.
Now I'm no expert, but bubbles in your oil can't be good.
