Yeah, a lot of people used to do that back in the non-detergent days.
No need anymore if you change your oil regularly and don't get it so hot that it breaks down.
The biggest problem with doing this type of thing is that if you do have a bunch of junk caked up in your engine and you put something in there to break it loose fast, it's going to plug your oil pump pickup screen, restricting or blocking oil flow.
Change your oil when it gets dirty and you'll be fine.
