Fuel and Coolant Conditioner?

Hi there. What kind of fuel and coolant conditioner should I be putting in a 1991 7.3 and how often for each. Thank you.

There is alot of info on coolant additives in the past threads, do a search for more info, Ford sells a additive that needs to be used every 5,000 miles and changed completey(coolant included) every 10,000 miles. Do a search for SCA and you can get more info on the reasons behind the additive.

AS far as the coolant goes you can get test strips from NAPA or International dealers to test SCA of the coolant. Fuel additive, you will find lots of ppl using Stanadyne Performance or Diesel Kleen or Power Service. It will boil down to what YOU are comfortable with. AND here comes a can of worms. Take pride in your ride.

the Ford coolant additive is ercommended every 12000 to 20000 miles, and then they recommend only 4 0z to be put in.
