Contaminated fuel and Progressive Insurance

From the video:
Best Ranked to Lowest Rank:

1. XPD optilub- cut the wear scare vs not using it by 50 percent- most expensive

2. Archoil – very high increase in lubricity- best value of the five

3. Power Service (highest level of cyanate improvement)

4. Hot Shot Secret (by far lowest cost to use per gallon)

5. Stanadyne- did virtually nothing and costs second highest

I currently use Power Service. The test results from the video have influenced me to switch to XPD. If I was a hotshot driver, I would use the Archoil as costs for a hotshot driver are a significant factor.

If you don't need the winter anti-gel, check out their Summer Lube. Excellent performance and much cheaper than the XPD.

Here's the Spicer test of additives. The results correlate well with the video where the same additives were tested. Keep in mind that the Spicer tests were done on raw diesel. The video was done on pump diesel.
