Archoil 6500

Anybody tried the new Archoil 6500 yet?

I used their 6200 in my diesels until I moved over to Optilube but am going to try this new one.

I used the oil additive before switching over to Opti-lube also. I've never looked back.

Been using Archoil for the past 3000 miles. Tried hotshot for a couple of tanks. Archoil 6500 actually improved mpg, Hotshot - not so much...

Where do you live? Here in Texas we have higher cetane already (48). So typically a cetane booster doesn't benefit me. Archoil has a cetane booster but not sure about Hotshots
