I have been using RBP, But I found this study the other day and it shows a lot of different aspects in there and is pretty detailed.

I'd heard about the Opti-Lube before. You ever used it or know anybody that has?

This is sure to get a lot of attention. Everyone has an opinion on what is the best and they support it to the end. Just like engine oil. My recommendation is to do your research and find what is best for you. Power Service, Diesel Kleen, Opti-Lube, AMSOIL are all good. Check out the lab comparison done by The Diesel Place a few years ago. Might surprise you on what you find out about other brands not listed above.
There are several guys on here who have talked about using it. Only place I know to get Opti-lube is online. Haven't seen it in a store in GA yet.
Like Chevy*tough, I am using AMSOIL Fuel Concentrate and their Cetane Booster. Have seen some improvement with fuel economy, quicker starts, no injector chatter, less/cleaner exhaust smoke.
If after you do your research you choose AMSOIL, just let me know.
Take care,

When you buy RBP your just paying for a name. XDP sells the same exact fuel additive with a diff name on it for 1/4 of the price. Just trying to help you save some money
XDP Diesel Power Plus Fuel Additive

There have been many tests and you can search them because a few have been brought over to the forum. For lubricity nobody is even close to opti-lube except biodiesel. The opti-lube outperforms everybody by such a large margin that I’m unsure why anybody would use any other product. I personally have used Diesel Kleen and 2 stroke oil but, will switch to opti-lube soon.

no matter how tight you screw the cap on power service it will leak unless you have a spot in the back of your truck where it will stay up-right. plus when you try to pour the big bottle in your tank it spills everywhere.
Just be really careful with the Bio-Fuels. There have been cases where GM has denied warranties on the Duramax due to the owners running Bio-Fuels. They are trying to use any excuse possible to relieve themselves of any financial responsibility.
