Two-stroke engine-oil is the most cost-effective additive. Added lube protection is measure in micron-improvement over ultra low sulfur diesel.
Super Tech Outboard 2-cycle oil from Walmart added with a 200 to 1 ratio scores very high in wear-tests in fuel injection pumps with a 162 micron improvement.
Used motor-oil, e.g. Shell Rotella 15W-40 only tested with a 2 micron improvement.
ATF at 200 to 1 showed just about no measurable gain in lube.
Here's a chart of test results. Disregard any prices shown since they change so much.

Today's Featured Article - Engine Valves - Some Helpful Information - by Staff. Intake - On the intake stroke the piston moves doward, sucking in carburized fuel through the open intake valve. Exhaust valve is closed. Compression - With both the intake and exhaust valves closed, the pistons upward stroke compresses or squeezes the fuel into the combustion chamber. Firing - Ignited by the spark, the compressed fuel explodes and forces the piston downward on its power stroke. Intake and exhaust valves are closed. Exhaust valves and seats are exp
