always use two stroke or 30 weight oil with no additives at all times. the new ULSD diesel scars the fuel system and can shorten the life of the ip, injectors and lift pump. i use 16 to 20 ounces in my 26 gallon fuel tank. with winter coming ill pour in some power service so that it can keep the fuel from gelling. another bad thing about ulsd is that it gels at a higher temp than the old diesel.
