opti lube winter grade is one product, but 5% plain old kerosene also works.

I didn't think about that soon enough. I just bought two red tops from Ford. Is the black top from Ford anygood? I used to use Power Service, and use Syandane when I am in a pinch.

It's kinda odd. The Ford red top says 4oz for 25 gallons and the Standyne treatment says 8oz for 30 gallons. Wonder what the differences are?
