I've used Stanadyne since the first tankfull. I also add a little Marvel Mystery Oil at each fillup. With ULSD showing up, I'll probably increase the MMO.

I know alot of people use 2 stroke. Has anyone had any problems due to it? What about the 10, 20, or 30 # ND motor oil as far as prob's due directly to using it? I'm learning a good bit from this thread! Thank you.

Rather than adding oil, why not just get some biodiesel and add that?

Only 2 stations in all of New Mexico have Bio, and it's 50 cents more a gallon. Otherwise that's a great idea.

If you can get it, 50 cents per gallon more than diesel is still way cheaper than oil. You only need 2% to get huge lubricity benefits.

I was thinking about the same idea. It is the same $$$ where I live but I get worse MPG's w/it. I still fill up w/it about every 4th tank.

If it's hard to get or very expensive, you can just use it as an additive. Apparently 2% is enough to make kerosene more lubricated than regular diesel. %5 should be more than enough to protect any truck from problems due to lack of fuel lubricity.
