Hey Guys - Solarwarp has a 2007 CTD and I believe that model year is specifically designed to run on ULSD. His truck has a lot of emission control devices and I'm not sure that 2 cycle oil would be appropriate - it might mess up something that could be very expensive to fix. I'm not an expert - just done a lot of reading on fuel additives on various websites. I would consider some of the other more conventional additives, i.e. Stanadyne Lubricity formula; Amsoil Diesel Concentrate; Schaffer Diesel Treat, etc.

2-stroke oil is fine to run in the newer diesels. The DPF emissions systems only purpose is to remove NoX from the atmosphere and doesn't care what creates it. A diesel engine will burn just about anything you put in it.
BTW- look at the chart in post #4 and see what was ranked #7 in the test.

Here is the original study done by Arlen Spicer. Thought I would post this to make sure he gets credit for his hard work.
