Is it really your personal preference. I do not add anything to my tanks and i get fuel from all over. Usually 1qt of ATF to every 50 gal of diesel is what I know some people use...Or a few oz of 2 stroke oil per fill up.

I use the Opti Lube XPD (#2 in the chart). I have seen no noticeable difference in the Cat 3116 engine with or without added lubricant. I have seen a very big improvement on my New Holland LX885 skid steer. You can easily hear the motor run more smoothly with the lubricant added. My dealer told me the skid steer would require injector repairs if it was not added.
