Just be cautious with adding oil to diesel fuel in
turbo-diesel engines as the higher energy content of the added oil may increase your EGTs. As a previous poster stated, one quart per 100 gallons would be a good ratio. It will help with the lubricity for the high-pressure injection pump, injectors and, to a small degree, the fuel-lift pump, but that would be it, pretty much. It won't help with top-cylinder lubrication because it's not spray injected with the fuel into the cylinder during the intake cycle, like a gasoline engine. Too much and you may also affect the cetane rating and do damage to the top of your pistons and cylinder walls (that is, for direct-injected diesels versus pre-combustion chamber diesels).

Its all mostly snake oil sold by the same type of charlatans who invented and hocked slick 50 to all you putzes who bought it. just a bit of marvel mystery oil will lick any problem diesel may have, it even slicks your hair back nicely in a pinch. Meye, friend to capt. neal and like minded fellows of the sea. |
