What oil do you use and do you change viscosity for different seasons? What fuel addititive do you use for winter or summer? I use Amsoil cetane booster now. Can I use both the cetane booster plus a lubricicity/anti jell add during the winter. I am from ND. but all my diesel experience was a cummins in Colorado. Thanks for your input.

well for oil either a synthetic 15w 40 or alot of people run 5w40 in the winter. dont run non synthetic 15w40 though in the winter in ND. it gets to thick. as for additive, you dont really need any if you dont want to just ya anything you use in the summer is pretty good in the winter. its not a bad idea to run anti gel in it ever other trank. also always have a few quarts of 911, and extra fuel filter, and a open end filter wrench with you. also winter from is a must. ND is much colder then CO. its pretty common to have -20 days with 30+MPH winds.
