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.
