Nope. It's only for newer engines which actually require it due to
tighter clearances.

That said, a  couple months ago M1 was pretty scarce at the FLAPS,
for some reason. I had to come back a few days later.

Not only that, but I've noticed the bottles and cases are covered in
oil more recently- never had that problem before in +5 years.
