I have an EcoDiesel 3.0 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. It has just over 90000 miles. Should I be concerned in adding Stiction Eliminator on my next oil change? I heard a podcast where the individual added Stiction Eliminator and it lead to gaskets leaking. Has this happened to anyone else?
 
I started running it around 150k and have had no issues

Never heard of that. Have run anti stiction additives since 2006 in my trucks. Never a problem. Been using Hotshots' since they came out with it. Not sure our Ecos need stiction elimination but I add it for the rest of its benefits.

Did the podcast person have any proof that the stiction eliminator caused the problem? If so, what was it?
I Googled it and only found one reference. A Ford 7.3 engine where the owner said it really didn't need the stiction eliminator but he used it and his mileage dropped. The Ford 7.3 was notorious for stiction, when he says it really doesn't need it, I lose all credibility for what else he said.

No. He just stated his gaskets started to leak after using it. He was under warranty and had to take the truck went in for repair.
