CP4 Changes - additives discussion

[fuchsroehre]

Yes the Diesel Kleen additive is mixed in on some gas station here to make the Diesel #2 winter ready.
Why do you guys use the additive? Is that just to save your high pressure pumps CP4? Or do you do it to keep the engine "clean"?
Wouldn't the dealer take care of a damaged pump and you'd rather have it fail during warranty than afterwards?
Thanks.

So here is my .02$
I had used stanadyne on my ‘99 f350….then I got turned onto arch oil….

Funniest part about the story, the image on the top of that site is a Cummins. Which is now what I am running the leftover arch oil in. I will let you know in 5-10 years when my warranty is over if it did any good.

Prior to owning diesel….snake oil comes to mind. But research about sulfur in diesel converted tome to do something. I hate getting “smarter”. I

Appreciate all the knowledge here in this forum and thread. As I wait for my 2024, are they running the CP3 now, or will I still have a CP4?
With a new truck, and wanting to treat the diesel fuel , is the EDT best for a 24MY assuming it does not have the CP4?

Kind regards,

John

You will have the CP3. CP4 was only out for 2 model years, then changed to CP3 again and those 2 model years were recalled and replaced. Other than winter anti gel additives fuel treatments are generally discouraged.

As said no cp4. And the only thing you need is diesel fuel the rest is just good at emptying your wallet.

Thanks for the responses. Lots of information to learn as this is my first Diesel.

Appreciate the responses.

Best,

My 2020 now has a CP3 and I will continue to use Hotshots EDT. It not only lubricates, it also cleans injectors and improves the fuel. For me it's inexpensive preventative maintenance. Costs $1.10 to treat my 50gal tank

Their recommended (Lower?) dose. Sometimes I double it for ****s and grins, no real reason

Sorry should have worded it as "Premium Dose" 1oz per 25 Gal. and "Performance Dose" 2oz per 25 Gal. as per rear of bottle instructions.

Premium, regular or low. All = 1oz per 25gal

And yet another member reports that stopping the use of EDT (and changing fuel stations) has eliminated his excess regen issues.

FWIW, I stopped using anything on a regular basis once my CP4.2 got replaced with the bulletproof (we don't need no stinkin extra lubricity snake oil) CP3.3.

I have zero regen issues (touch wood).

I'll occasionally throw in some XPD only because I don't want to let it go to waste.
