semi weird oil change question

When he was here on one of his "big rides", Ron Madaio had a thing when changing oil.
He'd pour in half the bottle, cap it, then shake the remaining half before pouring it in.

He explained that the oil company additives would settle to the bottom of the bottle when sitting on a shelf. The shaking put them back into solution.

I'm not sure, but it made enough sense to me that I picked up the habit, figuring it can't hurt, might help.

So, braintrust opinions on this?
