I’ve always been skeptical about magic in a bottle

I'm sure videos like this have been shared on the topic, but I'm new to a lot of this and found this one in my own search for supporting scientific data, hopefully y'all find it useful as I did in your decision making.

First off I pay no never mind to the talking heads on U-tube, by not listing to them its saved me a lot of $$ and heartache, now if I want an honest opinion I will ask a few of the Moderators an a few others here that I trust a lot more then 99% of the Yoda's on U-tube

While I haven't consumed a lot of Andrew's content, Lake is a very well known and respected professional analyst and I take a lot of stock in his content. I'd add that he was spot on with most informed folks regarding the snake oil nature of off the shelf oil additives when he ran that battery of tests.

That said, while this is a great round of tests for LUBRICITY, that's not really what this particular thread is about.

Back when many of us were concerned about the longevity aspects of our CP4.2 pumps, and before they were replaced with recall, this and many other similar test results were extremely beneficial and educational. FWIW, I ran XPD from day 1 in my 2020, and only switched to Archoil when lubricity issues were no longer a concern and many owners here started obtaining great results using Archoil to reduce their DPF regen issues.

Bottom line, unless someone does (or has done) enough long term testing using XPD that shows better regen results than Archoil, I think it remains the goto product for most Cummins owners. The Ford guys should probably stick with XPD. I would if, God forbid, I owned a Ford.

Yeah wife’s nephew has an F350 that has corsploded and latest bid was just shy of $15K to repair it. 132K miles and used to move a mini-x from job to job. Another nephew has an 11’ model 3500 Ram with over 300K miles on it is moving it for him on a pretty much daily basis.

I carry one of these funnels in my Rambox.

Robot or human?

That’s the one I have also.
