I wouldn't think so. That would only thin the oil even further and possibly damage other parts. The only fix for a bad rod bearing is to check the crankshaft for damage as well as the rod and measure the diameter of the journal for out-of-round conditions. If you are lucky,you may just replace the worn bearing...but most are not that lucky and I wouldn't advise it. When a rod starts knocking, it's like hitting the crankshaft with a hammer and it will wear the sides of the rod cap/crank journal until it gets so much play, it breaks the rod,rod cap or piston..hence the saying "Sling a rod".
