Adding ATF and/or 2 cycle oil
Just wondering if I want to add ATF to my 300SD, what type is recommended? I've read that the new ATF doesn't lubricate as well as the old stuff, so I found some old stuff "Type F" that states its for '78 and older model vehicles...would this be better? And also, is the 2-cycle oil just as good or better for lubrication? I know alot of people say just out diesel fuel additive in, but all the additives say "ULSD compatible" which leads me to believe it was manufactured w/ emissions in mind not necessarily maximum lubrication.....I care more about my injection pump and vehicle performance.....Any input?

Adding ATF and/or 2 cycle oil is a complete waste of time and money. ULSD does not have any lubrication issues in these cars.

ATF has chemicals in it called "friction modifiers" it does not sound to me like anything i want to put thru my injection pump or injectors.Two stroke oil probably wont hurt anything,but will it help anything? Who knows! If you really think you need to add something why not try something that is made for that purpose like Stanadyne or something similar. My $.02 Don

Stanadyne? I've never heard of that? How do I get it? Is it like an oil of some sort? Thanks, David.

find a station or truck stop that sells ASTM spec B20.. that will do better than any additive you can put in.

From that PDF file
As a result, all oil companies producing ULSD fuel must replace the lost lubricity with additives. All ULSD fuel purchased at retail fuel stations SHOULD be adequately treated with additives to replace this lost lubricity.

ATF is an old mechanics tale that cokes injectors.
