I'd like to see a test on John Deere fuel conditioner. Used to be made by stanadyne but they switched, interested to see the results of new stuff.
Do you think mixing the additives in the recommended concentration to #2 diesel fuel would impact the results at all (Vs. stand alone testing of each substance)?
I would like to see Optilube products tested. It is supposed to be a good diesel fuel lubricant.
Another request for testing Opti-lube XPD against Hot Shot’s Secret EDT, thank you!
Archoil I've not seen any hard testing on it like you do .

Yeah, that was pretty perfect
Lol!! For sure
No doubt
Ooo Lord. Wow!
This man is a gift to humanity.
Thanks for the nice comment!

I work for Oreilly's Auto Parts, and I get questions of this nature all the time. I like the facts you present in a non-biased manor! Great work! you're helping all us auto guys (and customers) make the wisest decisions on products!! Thanks again for your thoroughness!!
Thank you!
I work there as well, pretty close to DC35 in Boston. Im sending this video to everyone in our work group chat lol.
Oreilly's is my man cave away from home AND they always have my Stanadyne in stock.
I like project farm, I do, the comparisons he does do give a lot of useful insight but we still have to use our critical thinking with this stuff and also realize there are whole physics and chemistry specialties dedicated to understanding how stuff performs in given ways. Like… the diesel 911, it’s not an antigel product it’s designed to be used AFTER youre having problems with water and ice in your fuel… meaning it’s likely isopropyl alcohol based… so it “bonds” with the water and puts in in solution to be gotten rid of. All diesel fuel has water in it… it’s a question of how the water is mixed in…. So you can’t judge all of this solely based on the testing done here. Also… you can get isopropyl alcohol cheaper at Walmart in the pharmacy. And you can have an alcohol solution that in a bottle won’t freeze at very cool temps… but add in some water (aka put the additive in the fuel that has water) and suddenly it’s frozen at a much milder temp. All I’m saying is take this stuff with a grain of salt and do proper research to understand the full extent of the processes involved when asking a liquid mix of chemicals to do big jobs. Follow the directions on the bottles, contact the people that make the stuff… look up the msds to see if it lists the actual ingredients so you can understand what something really does. Bobistheoilguy is a good place to start as far as non peer reviewed stuff… but again you are your own warranty in this world so I always try to actually understand further and check as many sources as i can within the timeframe involved. And there are some circumstances where dumping some random snake oil or even something fine in one motor in your fuel can cost you thousands dependent on the machine.
I work for O’Reillys as well at 1554. I watched this video because I’ve never owned a diesel and want to see what worked best
I keep coming back to this video thinking there needs to be a "diesel fuel additive" series. There are so many new products just in the last 2 years that I feel like we need more data to go along with it! I'd love to see amsoil, and Lucas oil added to the bunch. Also hotshots new products as well. As another comment suggested, doing a lubricity test with the correct dilution of fuel with additive might also change things!
Thanks for the suggestions.
This is a great suggestion but until the video comes out I suggest using hotshot secret diesel fuel additive. It is very recommended and talked about in the diesel community as the best diesel additive for keeping your diesel running smoothly
@@ProjectFarm Please include european diesel additives to next test. Thank you for your great effort and honesty
Please include Wynns diesel fuel treatment and Liqui Moly treatment. Thanks for your time and effort in making these videos!
After getting a duramax I've been seeing almost everyone recommend Hot shots and or power service
As a truck driver this got my attention
I hope this video helps you! It's already helped me get ready for winter
Get f-10 it Cleans all water out of diesel
If your diesel looks like any of this at that temperature, your engine won't be running long...
@Earl James I've jelled on howes a couple times... some people run coarse fuel filters and won't have much trouble. I've always run the oem recommend filters that are normally @5 micron or less
@Evermore, I use one entire bottle of Howes per tank, 300 total capacity. It's worked well, now I just run the APU and it powers the fuel heater, so I don't even stress any more while I am home and truck is parked.
neighbor with binoculars : "there he goes again - now he's driving an old rv. Is that Jim and Carol's old RV?"
LOL!
@@ProjectFarm But did you use 3M duct tape? LOL 12:29
He looks like he is going to be cooking meth in it soon. Which round flask is best? Let's do some testing!
😂😂😂Yes!! The asshole prick neighbor not cool enough to come over and drink beers with the guy while he does this. And good choice of names, Jim and Carol. 😂 Typical.
Call it Death Proof.
Most proud moment of my life is when my son came home excited to have found project farm, I knew he was now a man
Just amazing. I even showed my wife the aerial shot of the camper runs and she said "that's amazing."
“For safety reasons, everything has been JB Welded into postion.”
What a glorious quote.
Thanks!
"This beautiful RV"
Somehow managed to find the RV from Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead.
lol
Project Farm maybe you should call it Heisenberg?
In Breaking Bad Jesse calls the RV the "Crystal Ship"
AJ Maybe “the uncertainty principle” would be more apt for Project Farm, or “Heisenberg’s knocker”
Is that the same rv that was on national Lampoon's Christmas vacation?
Again , Your " real world " tests are extraordinary , been a 1 truck owner / operator for 51 years & still learn more from Your tests , when I order from Amazon , I use Your links , Keep it Up !
You do such a great job with these videos and seem to truly listen to your viewers. Thank you for what you do
You are welcome!
lmao! the drone footage of the RV was the funniest shit i've seen in a while!
Awesome!! Glad you liked it!
No doubt. Hollywood is gonna swipe that!!
I was ROLLING from that, hands down lmao
No doubt
That overhead camera angle was pretty great. It definitely looked like some Hollywood stuff! Keep up the informative and entertaining work!
I dont have a diesel engine, but this guy does such a good damn job. I have to watch.
Good stuff mate.
Name for the RV: Last Leg
Thank you very much!!
Saxie81 same here
Chariot of Fire
He does a great job at these videos!!!
Whats better is he responds to you on a text. But hes dang awesome
I was thinking “ the Roach” because it looks so beaten down and reached out, either that or “rot row” because those rev were built with such a large quantity of wood products that they rotted away, and that land barge will never be the same or water tight!
I really appreciate the videos. Always very informative and fun. When it comes to diesel treatment being that our trucks have saddle style tanks we double and even triple dose our fuel. When temps are single digit or lower I’ve even had to add 4x the listed amount. Never had any luck out of howes for anti-gel but power service works pretty good as long as it’s over-dosed. The only time I use the recommended amount is when I’m doing regular injector cleaning by fuel treatment. I had fuel gel on me just last week. I used regular power service anti-gel in the white jug and added a 250 gallon treatment to a 35 gallon tank. Yes it’s overkill by the directions but it did work and got my work truck running great again. It didn’t happen immediately though.
Thanks! Thanks for the feedback.
Great test. I've been using the Stanadyne for over twenty years now. Honestly, no surprise on how well it did in your testing. It's a must use, to keep GM 6.5L diesel injection pumps running a long long life.
Thanks! Thanks for sharing.
I'm at 16 years with my VW 1.9 ALH TDI using Stanadyne. Zero issues thus far - I add it to every tank full regardless of the weather.
I'm retired from GM now as a master diesel tech....stanadyne was always used where I worked...from the 6.5 to the duramax arrival and never had any issues
Now granted I live in Southern California and we don't have that cold a weather here...but overall stanadyne was always used at our dealership
Came here to see fuel tests, stayed here for air-strip RV drag racing
Thank you
ProjectFarm: tests diesel additives and drag races an old RV over the field 😂👌🏽
Just mix a bit petrol to the diesel in the winter, works also.
"How well does diesel additive do under 12 lbs of boost?"
Thanks again for doing all this testing I have an 85 diesel wagon with 300,000 miles and it definitely needs all the help it can get in the winter.
You are welcome!
I'm so glad I found this video. It's winter time in New England and one of the truck froze last night minus 4. I picked up new fuel filters today and some of the house and some of the power service 911. I'm going to return both of them and go with your recommendation. Thanks for doing the test.
You are welcome! Thanks for the feedback.
The diesel 911 is for when your fuel has already gelled, it de-gells the fuel, where as the other products you tested are for a preventative measure.
Ty. Say it louder for the folks in the back!
Yep. Ran a service truck in the mid west and 911 works great at breaking the gelled fuel back down for a short time in the cold, but adding it before
does absolutely nothing.
Another point to make is the other anti-gels will not reliquify gelled fuel, they will only prevent it.
We had a school district that blended 911 in their diesel tanks as their normal antigel. They had 50+ buses. They did it for years and claimed it worked. I told them they were doing it wrong.
i have been driving the same sterling diesel box truck for 10 years and the only thing i use here in north dakota for anti gelling is 911. my fuel has never gelled up, not once. saying it's not preventative is 100% false. we have -30 or worse every winter. and i use sams club shit diesel on top of that, not that expensive full on winter blend stuff.
I'm impressed that you got "Aunt Betty" to run again.
Thank you!
Great video! Thanks for taking the time to make it!
I appreciate the way you ran this test. I have a driver who is 80 years old and has driven trucks all his life. He swears by Howe’s and I have often wondered which is best, now I can show him this.
Thanks for sharing.
I love how you always go the extra mile to give evidence, but remain independent! Project Farm for life!!!
More integrity than the Commander-In-Chief.
This was a great vid. As a recent owner of a large, diesel truck I've run into a lot of "religion" about diesel additives. It's good to see some science in action.
Thank you!
Yeah I used to make jokes about amazon oil but after watching this mans videos I’d trust amazon basic oil unless you are gonna be building a track/drag car ; it’s almost literally Mobil 1 performance wise
Brady Arnold only problem with amazon oil is since they only use the brand name and don’t make their own oil, they could change the oil supplier in the future and you’d never know
@@Yyote Yep, they've already done that with at least one of the products offered under the Basics label.
3d printing filament changed brands late 2019 - early 2020, and I'm sure that there are others. Only those paying attention will notice the changes, as they don't advertise it.
I’d like to see the PS DieselKleen tested at full dose, rather than half-dose. Or if it was, I’d like it to be specified what the dosing is - the Hotshots has 1 dosing option - 1 ounce per 8 gallons.
The PS has 2 dosing options, and 3 formulations - the 1:400, 1:1000, and 1:1500 options.
So, if we were using, for example, the 80 oz packaging, at 250 gallons, versus the below 0 option of 125 gallons, it’s literally 2x the dosing. So I expect the results to be significantly different depending on the dosing! And we are never told which dosing he uses. We aren’t told if the packaging was a 1:400 or 1:1000 mix option. I’m not as familiar with the others, but at least tell us what version, what dosing! That’s what Science is about!
Thanks for always sharing your experience with a lot of different products. Always great to watch. Look forward to watching many more. 👍🏼👍🏼
You are so welcome!
This is the BEST channel on TH-cam!!!!!!! Thanks for putting this out!!!
Thanks and you are welcome!
"Eagle 5" is the perfect name for your RV, it's the RV spaceship from "Spaceballs".
Thank you!
Man, you beat me by a whole year. I was scrolling through to see if it had been mentioned. I believe PF may have achieved ludicrous speed.
This guy is my favorite for real world testing most of these winning products I end up purchasing later just for the fact you far far and wide to prove every point... Love your videos !!!!!
Love the RV. You need to incorporate it into more vids. Thanks for all of the hard work that goes into every video.
I have switched to Stanadyne and I am very pleased with this product. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing.
RV should be called “The Project Camper”
Thank you!
Damn I love how we decide what he does for his Channel- remember when all you tubers were like this :(
Thank you very much!
Another great video. I appreciate the pace - you deliver a lot of info without filibustering. It seems like a pretty thorough evaluation with unbiased results. I like seeing you whip that old Ford Ranger. I'll smash the button. Hope you get to 3 million subscribers and beyond!
Thanks and you are welcome!
You are very thorough on your testing and you have become the TH-cam authority on testing.
Thanks!
"Cousin Eddie" is going to be hard to beat imo
Thank you!
The amount of effort that goes into these videos is staggering!
This channel is incredibly informative! Please continue to keep up the great work!
Thank you very much!
Thanks for the great review! Having a new diesel truck in the frozen tundra in the Midwest I bought the Diesel Fuel Supplement in the white jug because that is all I could find locally. Better than nothing. I’ll buy the top rated ones when I can find them. Kudos to your channel!
You are welcome! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks man. I’ve been using power in the white bottle for years in my Freightliner semis but I may try your top two finishers now.
Many times we buy bc of brand and history but proof is in testing like this.
Thank you.
You are welcome! Thanks for sharing.
Amen, thank you for answering our questions so thoroughly. I’m going out and buying Hot Shot tomorrow
Your videos move along and are well edited and you make it look easy but I want to compliment how much time you actually must devote to run these tests. Excellent work
Thanks so much!
Great video and always so interesting! Just like Christina mentioned, a fuel additive comparison for lubricity would be followed like gospel for us diesel truck owners, with all of the CP4 fuel pump failures on the big three diesel pick ups going on.
Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.
Great video.
I have an old RV that was abandoned myself. 1986 allegro. 454 on a GM cassis. 54K confirmed original miles.
I could not believe it but when I started fiddling around with it, if everything still worked. Unbelieveable. Last registration on the tag was 1998. The 454 legit started right up when I ran gasoline to it and purred like a new motor.
I can't bring myself to scrap the old thing. But a roof leak basically ruined the interior of the drivers area and dash. Vandals had broken windows out as well.. I really don't know what to do with it tbh...
Thanks! Thanks for sharing.
Love your channel, how about a test of anti-seize compounds?
Great suggestion! I'll do it.
Also should compare between anti-seize in a bottle with a brush, in a stick, and spray
Blue goop antiseize
RV name: “ Sir Knocks-a-Lot”
I like big blocks and I can not lie
Sounds like exhaust leaks rather than actual engine knocking
Man, im getting my first diesel this weekend, and i live in iowa, right now its -6 and im definitely worried about gelling and stuff. So this video was absolutely helpful and i now have hot shots additive in my amazon cart! Thank you so much!
Buy winterized diesel fuel from your fuel station, and you shouldn't have any problems.
Good info!!
I’m always a skeptic when using these products, but recently had to replace the injectors on my 02 Duramax and have been using Hotshot Diesel Secret for over three years and has used Standyne before for many years.
I asked many questions as I could about how this product was working. My mechanic unwavering said to keep using and doing what I’m doing.
Thank you for doing these tests!!
Thanks and you are welcome! Thanks for sharing.
The RV sure is a beaut’ needs to be called the Cousin Eddie
Thank you!
RV name: Snapper because it sounds like a lawn mower.
Came to suggest the same name! It has a big bulky shell, moves slowly, pointy snout, and sounds like a lawn mower. It even sends blades of grass flying. "Snapper" sounds like the perfect name with a double meaning to me. (-:
Wow! Confirms the holy trinity of howes,amsoil,and hotshot treatments I use for my engines I work with.
The accidental discovery kept my engines happy since.
Thanks for the feedback.
This guy has Test Equipment for everything , I subscribe and he is quite informative
Thanks!
Thanks for testing this. With so many options at the store and the cost of repair (especially new diesels), this is super helpful.
Glad to hear!
These are some of my favorite videos, I'm severely interested in the outcome of every video of yours. Keep up the great work!
Thanks so much, will do!
I will DEFINITELY continue using Hotshots additive! Thank you for all this wonderful knowledge you give us 🙂
You are welcome!
No BS, straight to the point. Thanks for not wasting my time!
You are welcome!
Winter is coming.
This is relevant to my interests.
Thank you for your hard work!
Thank you!
**Update**
My vehicle is a 08 Cummins, full delete, EFI live tunes on tow tune with TCM programed. Live in upstate NY.
Prior, when using Howes and I used the remote start in cold temps (below 30) the truck would fire, stall recycle ignition and try again. Sometimes taking three attempts. Since using Hot Shot the truck has fired every time on first try. Very pleased with that alone. No mileage data as I have been plowing some.
Thank you again for the information.
Thank you again. I was a Howes user, just ordered some Hot Shot.
Keep us all posted how you like it!
I used to think 911 was good for anti gel but hot shot for me from now on
Happy Hobo to be fair, the 911 is for emergencies, the regular white bottle is for everyday cold weather use
Same here
Great comparison, I've used PS for many years on the farm, will have to give Hot Shot a try! (Like the idea of better lubricity). I will have to say that I've never had a gelling problem with power service, but I've always treated fuel with a slightly higher concentration than called for. (Best to err on the safe side). Farm is located in north central Montana.
Thanks! Thanks for the feedback.
I use Hotshot Secrets twice a year in my Jeep Eco-diesel. Wonderful product, the engine runs amazingly smooth for months after the treatment.
Thanks for sharing.
Yep. My 2016 3.0L runs like a top. Have gotten over 38 mpg on occasion.
"The Rats Nest" She's runnin' on all 5!

Hi Jeff!
sure does sound like it
I’ve used 911 when my 1070 gelled on me, pulled the filters and followed the directions and it worked great
You have such a wonderful sense of humor
Thanks!
I had a injection pump rebuilder recommend the standyne on older engines I have used a lot of Howles and power service, in the summer I put Marvel mystery oil in my tractor diesel. Used to deliver farm fuel for a local Co-op our suppler told me winter diesel has 10% kerosene in it. I enjoyed seeing the tests , thanks for doing them.
Thanks and you are welcome!
Amsoil does have a diesel anti-gel it's called cold flow, or diesel all in one, I wish that would got tested, I am a big Amsoil user.
My box of All in One arrived last week. I typically use Stanadyne, but thought I'd give the Amsoil additive a try since I begin using their diesel oil.
I use the cetane boost and fuel system cleaner from Amsoil on my 1981 Mercedes 240d diesel along with the Amsoil European 5w-40 Classic in my car and it runs like a charm.
@@mikez377 Are you using All in One with Amsoil diesel oil? What fuel mileage is it giving you?
Are you running a pickup or 18 wheeler tractor?
@@thisismagacountry1318 I use both in my 03 duramax and its the best
Shared on a VW TDI group, hopefully brings in some more subscribers 👍🏼
Thank you!

Can you test stp ultra 5-1 cleaner? I had a check engine light on for emissions then I used sea foam plus this new stp cleaner and my check engine light went away after one tank. I don’t think it was the sea foam bottle that did the trick. Thanks
@Geoff240ti Your name wouldn’t happen to be Troy would it? Lol
Well done. I needed this. I run everything from a 1956 MF35 to a 2006 Kubota. I will run Hot Shot or Stanadyne from now on. Thanks for saving my engines, Doug.
Thanks and you are welcome!
All things considered, I’ll stick with Stanadyne. Thank you so much for testing all these additives. It was very informative.

YES!
Not only name it that, but go through and fix everything needed to make it an actual roadworthy coast to coast roadtrip & camping machine, doin as much as possible to fix and/or customize it with J.B. Weld, and duct tape! Maybe get in touch with Red Green, and take it up to possum lodge! :)
Call the Rv the “Farmabego”!
Great name! Thanks for watching.
He actually piked this name 🤣
I just bought my first diesel in October and have been asking farmers what they do for their work trucks thinking they are careful to make sure their investments are cared for. I was told to put the howes in my truck as we will get a few weeks of -20f° a year. Im disappointed it did so poorly. I will definitely be looking for some hot shots. Thank you so much for this unbiased review. Ill he telling all my farmers buddies about this for sure and good on Hot shots for making a good looking product.
Thanks!
Thank you @Project Farm. I subscribe but don’t always view your newest stuff as it comes out. But I always tend to end up back to you when I’m trying to figure out which products to use for a particular task. Always Solid info! That RV has to be named Cousin Eddie by now…lol.
You are welcome! Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Love it. Now we just need a regular diesel fuel additive test with lucas injector cleaner, diesel kleen, hot shots diesel extreme, amsoil diesel all in one etc.
Thank you!
Great test, thanks! Please add those and test archoil as well please. I switched for stanadine to archoil last year.
You answered questions I've been wondering about since 1999 when I bought my first diesel. Thanks
Thank you
What a fantastic test!!! You have the best Channel on You Tube!!!
Thanks and you are welcome!
Glad to see the 2 stroke oil doing so well. Ill continue to run it as a summer fuel lubricity additive, and I will definitely check out some of these better products for anti-gel help
Thanks for the feedback.
You're the best at explaining and doing tests, I know you can't cover every single detail of everything but you do very very good videos
Thank you very much!
I freaking love that RV lol, my grandparents had a farm and had stuff like that all over the place.
With all the bosch cp4's out there a straight lubricity test against all the tops, lx4 etc.. would be really helpfull.
Always love the videos. Thank you for taking the time to do it right A+
Thanks and you are welcome! Thanks for the suggestion.
Thanks for the video using power service anti gel and 911 products,
We use both at my employer and it helps explain how they both work.
You are welcome!
Really enjoyed this especially the lubricity test. Every one of them claim to increase lubricity and nearly none of it is true
I've used hot shots for years. Definitely love their products.
Thank you for the feedback!
@@ProjectFarm Going to start using the hot shot as I excursion recently.
Thank you for doing this.
Another incredibly well done test. Many thanks.
I live in South Wisconsin.
I have used the Howes since it is readily available at a local farm implements store since I bought my Jeep in 2005. Never had a problem with fuel gelling even when I buy the biodiesel in Monroe, WI. If you are going to have gelling it is far more likely to happen with biodiesel.
I was disappointed the Howes did not lubricate as well as it should have. But then it occurred to me, that is what the biodiesel is for.
Lubrication is very important now. I don't fully understand how sulfur lubricated the injectors, but now that it has been refined down to a record low level there should be something to replace it. Sounds like the Stanadyne would be the best one to use if you can't get biodiesel or if you are reluctant to trust it in winter.
My Jeep Liberty now has 260,000 miles on the original pump and injectors. I'm reasonably certain the biodiesel has helped lubricate and protect the engine parts.
If I should go on a long trip where biodiesel may not be available, I will look for the Stanadyne.
Thanks and you are welcome! Thanks for sharing.
You got me subscribed on this video, great topic and my truck will love it the results
Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Your videos are very well done, thank you for taking the time to make them!

Hi. I found your channel few days ago and I've already watched most of your videos. I'd like to thank you for your work. I find your videos very entertaining and I always watch them with curiosity.
Thank you very much for the positive comments! It keeps me motivated to keep making videos
I'm definitely switching to HS EDT and 2 stroke. Thank you for your great videos.
You are welcome!
This guy has the absolute best video reviews.
Thanks!
I would give your rv the name SLAM, the short form of: sounds like a mower
Thank you
911 is supposed to be used after gelling not to prevent gelling!
The white bottle is a preventative, pink for after jelling has already occurred
I've been telling my boss this for years but it doesn't seem to sink in.
Yeah my first thought. You can't compare them in the same test as 911 doesn't claim to be an additive of any kind. It's really an emergency thing you use when it's too late and it has a few competitors as well that don't claim to be additives either.
The supplement did what it claimed to do like Howes at preventing gelling.
I said the same thing John, guys I work with don't seem to understand that either.
Correct
Great video man, love these test
Thank you for these interesting and informative videos. It would be interesting to see some sort of price comparison integrated into the test results somehow, simple cost per bottle or ideally also including cost per gallon treated.
You are welcome! Thanks for the suggestion.
Great unbiased test I love it...and the motorhome bombing across the field was a perfect bonus!
Glad you enjoyed!
Yeah. The drone shot was everything. Very eye in the sky.
Lucus has an anti gel for Diesel as well which I often use. I would love to see it tested as well sometime . I so enjoy your videos.
Thank you! Thanks for the video idea.
Hot shots secret actually took a slight mis out of my L10 Cummins and made it run stronger within 30 miles of run time.. it's truly good stuff!
Thanks for sharing.
Kinda' late to this one, sorry. In another event that you had done I responded with my use of MMO. I use it in my cranes as well to assist with boom lift, boom rotation and quicker boom reaction. I found that it resists the freezing points n winter work (very little thank God) and does not "thin out" or lose pressure in summer. I am using MMO in my diesel fuel as well. Maybe Im wrong but after hundreds of thousands of miles I have no engine failures or excessive repairs.
I have an eCAT engine at over 650 horses that cranks and runs perfectly with MMO mixing all 12 months.
There is no change in the servicing and no strange residual effects on service intervals. Just me.
Thanks for the healthy look at what we "daily runners" run with. Good Job!!!
Recommendations for the next round: OptiLube XPD, Amsoil All-In-One, John Deere Fuel Protect Winter Formula, Summer Formula too just for fun. According to big study OptiLubeXPD was the best of the best. John Deere products weren't in that test but I've heard really good things about them.

Project Farm, if you would happen to do another test video using these products, I would love to also see you test Conklin’s two diesel products, Diesel-Plus and 4-Power D and I would be happy to send you a quart of each!
I came here to recommend Opti-Lube as well. Thank you.
But I would also recommend Opti-Lube Winter for its anti-gel properties.
I was hoping for Optilube as well. I've been running it for several years without issue in my Kubota.
I still appreciate the testing.
Thank you for the feedback!
Great video! I've been using Power Service diesel fuel supplement in my 2003 F-350 6.0 until I seen this video. It is cheaper than the Hot Shots Secret but the Hot Shots Secret looks like it performs much better. Quite an awesome set of tests you did and I greatly appreciate your work. Thank you!
Thank you!
I use the ps in the silver bottle on my titan xd cummins. Curious how ot would compare to the regular hot shots secret for everyday use, specifically lubricity, since it doesn't get that cold here in West Tx.
Looks like mixing PS and 2 stroke oil would be a great combination. I get the $1 bottle from Wal-Mart and add it in on fill up.
@@Jackmerius_Tacktheretrix how low did your temperature get February 2021?
I’m in NE texas and it’s the first time Iv needed to use a anti gel additive.
@@GTObearclaw1 I was in New Mexico when this hit and we got down to -9 with the wind chill. I used service power anti gel and had no problems other than a rough idle for the first few seconds or so but it was at 4am and freaking cold 🥶
I’ve used Howe’s for years. Love it! Never let me down!
Thanks for the feedback.
