I think I will invest. It can only go up, seeing all the good things that it does for our diesel motors. That product is very hard to get.
 
I alternate between the Power Service's (different Bottles for different Times of the Year) and the Howes.

One thing I Noticed, the Howes Smokes ALOT Less than Power Service.
 
I used Howes when I first got my truck. Howes has been around for a long time. I like it for the winter. It is has great anti-gel qualities.
 
I have been having good luck with Opti-Lube at a rate of 1/2 oz. per gallon. It should cover me in two areas. Prevent Fuel Gelling, Injector Lubrication and is said to raise the Cetane in by at least 3 points.

I use opti-lube at 1/4 oz per gallon. I haven't quite figured out if i'm a little too thin with it or not. Mileage seems to be slightly better with it.

They told me on the phone that you can put it in the engine oil too. Have you ever tried that? I'm hesitant to try without talking to a few people first.

No oil additives for me. I run regular UOA's and have not seen a need to help any oil I have ever used.
