The problem of course is because of a lack of a wash effect from the fuel. Unless you could produce an oil that has no vapour, and even then you have exhaust gas recirculation to contend with, then neither fuel additive nor oil improvement will resolve anything. Some manufacturers have resolved it by reintroducing port injection for the purposes of cleaning.
I know plenty about this

That frightens me, takes me back to my youth and having to decoke stuff. There was I praising modern cars too.
Thing is, old style decoke was easy, modern engines much harder.
