No pasta company should be telling you to oil the frigging water!
The reason to add oil to the water is to prevent foam overs, not for the
pasta's benefit. Oil is going to ride on the surface anyway and has that
effect. A couple drops would probably do.
Maybe that company's pasta foams over more than other brands and they're
trying to solve the problem that way instead of making better pasta?

Hi Andy! I have never seen foam in my pasta. BTW I put oil in the water only
when I cook Gnocchi or Lasagne...to prevent sticking
