Question Oil Additive?

I picked up some of this stuff: http://www.autozone.com/autozone/acc...er=523803_0_0_
at autozone as part of a deal they had for oil change kits.

According to autozone's online manual for my car (see sig) it says that adding oil additives is not recommended
(Honda does not recommend the use of any oil additive or supplement in the engine. A normal engine does not need them. If the engine is worn or damaged, it's usually too late for any benefit.)-from the manual.

Btw...I have done an oil change (5W-30) about 3 weeks ago and until i get my license, the car has been driven once a week.

Should I add the additive anyway?

If yes, should i wait until the dipstick says to add a quart and then pour the whole bottle in?

Thanks in advance!

If I ever do add anything, I go with Lucas Engine Oil Stabilizer...I've had good results with their products, especially the "transmission fix" in a bottle.
