I used to have a 2008 impala SS and came across this thread years ago in the  LS1tech forum. http://www.ls1.com/forums/f48/been-testing-oil-91206/. Has anybody tried this in there SHO?

I think wasinger was trying it out at one point.  Not sure on what results, if any.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Should have updated with my personal experience a little while ago :)

Using TC-W3 1 oz/4 gallons during the winter fuel months.  Smoother startups, quieter running, a little increase in MPG over 4-5 tankfuls.  No harm done to spark plugs.

Have not used since summer fuel hit.  Summer fuel by itself def makes a difference, but the engine is still not running quite as well as winter fuel + TC-W3.

Realize that this experience is on a PFI engine, not a DI engine, but it shouldn't hurt to try if you want.  I used Walmart brand SuperTech (bought by the gallon, very cheap), and it worked well.  Measuring & preparation with a funnel was the hardest part.  I bought graduated beakers to help with that, I guess you can eyeball the amounts.  The usual recommended ratio is more like 4 oz/20 gallons of fuel.  I saw more results with 5 oz.
