Once I get my IP rebuilt this winter my injection system will be perfect. Only clean diesel will run through it filtered by an OE filter.

An IP cost's between $600-$800 to rebuild and injectors can run anywhere from $300-$500 for a perfect set.

Unless you have a 606 then IP's are like $1,500.
Exactly.

If you want fuel injection system lubrication, try using one of the many fuel additives available for diesel fuel. Run a search on it and you'll find lots of info on deciding which to use.

As far as using spent motor oil to save money......
