You should be running both at the same time to get cetane boost and anti-gel.

To be honest the Ford product is not that great at providing lubrication. There are better products on the market at the same price point as the Ford product.

I didn't realize Motorcraft sold diesel fuel.

If you are putting Sam's club diesel in your tank, What's the big deal about an ounce of fuel additive.

I have had 4 diesel vehicles, 2 F250's, old 6.5 Chevy and VW TDI, I have always used Power Services Diesel Klean. No particular reason other than you can walk into any store and its there. After ready and seeing a video on testing, I might be making a switch though. I will add I have never had any issues with any of the vehicles fuel systems. I also drain my water separator once every other week and have yet to find any water.

I switched from Stanadyne Performance to Stanadyne Lubricity, mainly because the Lubricity formula is targeted at what I'm interested in: protecting the ultra expensive fuel system we have: Lubricity and water de-emulsification.

I also use Better Diesel to reduce soot produced: longer periods between regen and (hopefully) less buildup in the EGR cooler and turbine vanes.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it :-)

I run Optilube in my truck, John Deere tractors and Deere compact track loader and skid steer. I use Archoil in my small gas engines and have just started using ethanol free gas in them

I run Opti-Lube Summer+ all year here in mid Michigan. Never had any issues with gelling. My truck sits in a non-heated attached garage which does get some warmth from the house so on a below zero night my truck probably doesn't get below 10 degrees F or so.

I have been using opti lube for a while and when my latest shipment showed up it came with a pour spout with a valve. think this is a great add on. makes it easier to transfer to the smaller bottles I keep in the bed.

I recently bought some XPD too, but I ordered it with the pump dispenser & two small bottles because this is my first XPD purchase. I already have my summer additive (XL) set up with a pump dispenser. In addition to the pump dispenser, I too received the pour spout just like @Work Truck Fanatic received with his XPD. I prefer the pump for a couple reasons, but I thought the pour spout was a nice option.

I carry K100 in a old 32 oz Stabil bottle that has the 1 oz dosing chamber in quarter oz measurements on it. I have the amounts worked out what I need for both winter and summer ratios for the various gallon amounts.

Love my 65 gallon tank....I can dump a whole bottle of Stanadyne Performance or Lubicity without having to worry about XX ounces or is it a half bottle or 3/4 bottle nor will it spill in the truck if I don't use it all...

Think you took his answer a bit too literally. This thread is about additives, not your choice of diesel fuels.

Because I’m under warranty, (2020 6.7PS), I use MOTORCRAFT PM-22A. I know allot of people using nothing but I want every bit of insurance I can get to lubricate the newest high pressure CP4.
