i use it year round, generally almost at every fill or every other fill up if I can remember.

I don’t have much for harsh winters though being in the Deep South, not sure where you question is going.

i use stanadyne now with no complaints but I see a lot of guys using the optilube.

I only ask if the XPD is good for all year round because I see many people switching to summer blend over the warming months.

ahh gotcha. I use it because well, it’s gone a long ways for me. I bought another gallon and then a few weeks later another showed up from Amazon. I’ve got two gallons to work thru...


I find it gives me a good boost in shortening my regens. Not really sure on mpg, I don’t pay much attention to it. I do a lot of short trips and daily driver with my 350, but when I hit the highway and make long runs I see some good boost in it I guess.

I use XDP with every fill (10oz per 40 gallons) and if I am traveling back to Wyoming in the winter and expect very low temps, I double dose it.

Same here. I’ve used it since practically day 1 so am not sure what if any difference it’s made but was looking for the extra protection.

I used to use the Ford PM22 I guess it was, pretty much from the start. I had an injector fail/fault randomly around 12-14k in my 350.


I never got a straight answer why, my fuel was always good, few burbs of water in the separator once, but nothing bad. But I use the xpd for the lubricity more than I do for the centane boost. It’s a bonus but I’m here for the fuel pump protection, snd as the added bonus I notice my regens are much much quicker.
