Default lubricity additive

Hey guys what are you running for lubricity additive with this high sulfur fuel. I know that 90 percent of the 12v systems or lubed with oil except for piston walls and injectors. Any input I did research and dont really understand all the code names but i came across optilube. But some people say it sucks and i want to stay away from detergents etc etc. I am still kinda new to diesels any any input is appreciated.

I've always used Optilube for my truck. I've never seen any ill effects, but I haven't tried any others to compare it too..

OK, now, you've confused me. I always assumed that "normal" pump Diesel is "#2", except way-the-hell-too-far-north where you get #1 (approximately kerosene?)
