Do we have objective evidence indicating pump failures from this? I fully get the reactions between sulfur heterocycles and nickel in the alloys theoretically going away and causing accelerated wear. But for passenger car diesels it is not something that the boogeyman that was put out there ever seemed to bring to fruition. Correct me if I’m wrong.

And there’s tons of additives that add lubricity, perhaps the cheapest being good old TCW-3 2-cycle oil.
