Best additives for the 6.2 Detroit Diesel Engine

[nycxjeremyy]

As the title states, i just recently watched the Project Farm additive v additive video, and im torn between HotShot and Standydne and Howes



My question to you all is, which additive for lubrication and to prevent gellup do you all use? I've been running Howes lately but I'm not sure, any suggestions would help

I thought Optilube won that test

I don't like antigel that gels up unless mixed with diesel.

The Hotshots did that. I think Howes might also

Welcome Jeremy.
He used the wrong one in that video- Stanandyne makes about half dozen additives.

Then the 6.2/ 6.5 is VERY different than newer common rail diesels.
NEVER use an emulsifier.

Outside that as a starting point…

Fuel additives

Been a while since posting, and maybe this is something good to add to the “new guy check list” for them to learn. There is a million fuel additives that do different things. The one I recommend for the Stanadyne ds4 is the Stanandyne Lubricity formula in the purple bottle. Below I will add a...

I see, so i should use Stanadyne?

All emulsifiers (mixes in the water) is bad for these.
The best thing is removing water before it can freeze but that is a way to spend $1,000 quickly.

I recommend the Stanadyne LUBE additive not the de-ice one. But once gelled you are stuck.

Long term Fass lift pump with their heater and filters. The fass water separator filter removes basically every drop. The higher water amount the easier it will gell.
