I would use Opti-Lube XPD....If you do a search on additives (Lubricity) you will find that bio-diesel and Opti-Lube are your best choices

Sometimes facts help make the correct decision

I agree...it is a bit pricey, but my buddy has over 300K on his truck with the original injectors. Opti-Lube hopefully will keep my injectors happy for years to come....I don't have to drive my truck daily, so the extra cost for Opti-Lube is no big deal. I only have 82K on my 2005...used mostly for towing my boat or tow hauler

2stroke oil to lube it, Lucus to clean it once in a while! It's cheap, and non-EPA compliant makes it even better!
