I run Diesel Clean grey bottle every fill up. It's easy to find. Some run Stanadyne and some run nothing. A few run ashless 2 stroke oil. I'm on the sceptical side with a 15 grand motor. Boils down to availability and your comfort level.

The only thing I have against any of the additives once you start useing them you have to keep useing them. Kinda like useing ether in the old big engines they would get addicted to it and they would no longer start without it.

It's a personal decision. With today's diesel fuel we've lost cetane and lubricity over the years and running some kind of additive would be a good idea. Our injectors will thank you for it. As was mentioned. Diesel Clean in the grey bottle is available about everywhere and many others. Do some research and read up on it. Then decide on what's best for you.

already running the diesel kleen, but some people have said to run 2 cycle oil also?just wanted to get the right info. Injectors look like they are expensive.................as opposed to a set of mechanicals for a 5.9 cummins.....
