Thanks Lightman for the info about the lubricity being lower in diesel due to the “process” of removing sulfur and NOT the sulfur itself. With that bit of information then if you want to increase the lubricity of your low sulfur diesel it most definitely would be better to add some Food grade vegetable oil to your tank than it would be to add sulfur additive

As to how frequent you may have to change your fuel filters when you "first" go to B100, Just watch the clear prefilter and judge for yourself. Add one if you don’t have one. Like Lightman says the frequency of need to change filters may vary from, none to worst-case scenario where u may need too a lot. Again, this is only in the beginning stage of use, the older the car the more chance at higher frequency of changes will be needed.
