Thank you for an amazing video! Could you please review Hotshot Secret engine oil specifically for diesel engines 10W-30 - I was wondering if their engine oil is as good as Amsoil thank you
I just ran the Amsoil Diesel all in one mixed with the cetane boost in my mini excavator (V-Power Diesel), and holy. I noticed a huge power difference.
i am using amsoil diesel all in one in 2011 captiva 2.0 diesel with B30 diesel fuel cetane number 48, very good product, easy start on cold morning, tropical climate here
I have been using EDT for around nine months now and 70+ thousand miles. I noticed an immediate difference in the amount of times the DPF cleans itself. I would say it’s around 50%. Fuel mileage went up approximately 15% and the truck runs strong. I run over the road Hot Shot in a 2021 Ford F350 DRW And have been working the truck hard. I don’t put any fuel in my truck without adding EDT. I always use the performance dose which is 2 ounces for 25 gallons.
Thanks for putting theses videos together as I really enjoy watching them. Which one do you recommend for a 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500 with the 3.0l turbo Duramax LZ0 with less than 1,000 miles on it. Thanks!
Hey mate. I have an old diesel Toyota hilux 94 4x4. I’m going to put amsoil signature series in it. I’m also installing a bypass filter too. Is there anything else you recommend I do to the engine. I’ve changed all running gear to amsoil
@@repairvehicle ok thanks. It’s done 386000kms and hasn’t had the best maintenance. Is there anything other than the signature series that will help clean out all the sludge and carbon build ups?
Amsoil dot 3 &4 is same price as any other brands, like valvoline. Amsoil dot 4 racing fluid is same price as any other fluid brands in same category. I don't know the specs for Amsoil vs other brands, something like this will be in the future videos.
I have a 2018 F250 6.7 powerstroke with a CP4. It has 25,000 miles right now. I am worried about CP4 failure due to lack of fuel lubricity. Does Hot Shot or Amsoil all in one have the better CP4 lubricity protection for my 2018 Powerstroke?
I have a 1998 Volkswagen jetta tdi 1.9 ahu with 310,000 original injector’s and injector pump. How do I make my injectors and injection pump last the longest
Hello i have a 2013 Jetta Tdi with CJAA engine and CP4 strock pump. I want to acheive lubricity and pump protection year round. Im in Canada where temps range from 32 degreesC above zero and as low as 33degrees C bellow zero. which is the best product? thank you
Nice truck! According to the hotshot test data it provides better lubricity, however it’s not clear at what ratio. I am struggling to understanding the ratio they are using in their test data. Also, having excessive lubricity will hurt dpf filter and egr cooler, more soot will be generated and truck will be in regen mode more often
Thanks for the info. I bought some hotshots, I’ll use it at the 1oz per 25 gallon to just give it a bit more lubricity. I’d rather delete than replace cp4 haha
Supposedly, EDT was initially made to fight the lubricity issue in the CP4 pump with the new low sulfur diesel fuel.. It has just turned into something much bigger though now with all the other added benefits of using it.

My recommendation is to use this fuel additive every fill up to make sure your cp4 last longer and injectors stay healthy and dpf system happy. www.amsoil.com/search/#q=diesel%20all%20in%20one&t=totalProductsTab&sort=relevancy&numberOfResults=20?zo=5257753 Never use oil additives because they dilute oil by lowering additives numbers below required specification. Instead use high quality oil and if possible add bypass filter. Very interesting video is coming out soon on this topic. When it comes to def fluid, always use fresh def fluid, check production date or expiration date. I have tried oem brand and saw no difference between peak blue def fluid. Blue deaf is cheaper and available in many places, just make sure it’s fresh.
@@repairvehicle fantastic thank you! Blue DEF (regular) or pay a bit more for the Blue DEF Platinum? And you are referring to the Amsoil All-In-One Additive, not the Cetane Booster, correct?
@@repairvehicle and in regards to Diesel types, here in Los Angeles on my daily routes, I get offered mostly B20 and then #2. Any strong recommendation to use one over the other (with or without Amsoil Additive)?
@patrickmaus both diesel fuels have pros and cons and require diesel fuel additives to be used for best performance and reliability. This article has very good information blog.amsoil.com/a-closer-look-at-biodiesel/?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw9vqyBhCKARIsAIIcLMHIdTb__rayVVEKEA9STSgo62yFNgOD6ZD6X_1hVBUJqM9z6WQ9s0IaAi_mEALw_wcB
During colder months I use Amsoil all in one, but it can be used year round. Warmer temperatures I use diesel injectors clean + cetane boost. I use regular blue def, I have not found any data that shows platinum is better. Blue website says it’s better than regular but I have not found anyone confirming this
The amsoil showed to lower the WSD more than hotshots but also showed that the standard dose was 8 ounces per 20 gallon. The EDT showed a 1:1600 ratio which would be 2 ounces per 25 gallon, in other words EDT requires much smaller dose. Look forward to seeing the results of your testing.
This should not be used to clean def injector. Def tank should only have pure def fluid only, anything else inside def tank will cause system to malfunction
I’ve been using Penzoil 2 stroke oil for years. Please test it against these. I believe if it can keep a dirtbike engine piston clean from carbon and lubricates the crank then they figured out something that nobody else knows.
The other aspect that a diesel fuel additive needs to help with is water mitigation. Your other video on a CP4 failure covers this. If a vehicle has a fuel-water separator, then a dispersant works well. Hotshot's does make a claim to this. Amsoil does not. Many of the more modern euro diesel cars don't have that feature to drain the filter. If your vehicle does not have a means of draining collected water, then you need a fuel emulsifier that encapsulates the water and allows it to be burned with the fuel.
@@repairvehicle I’m not sure how they would quantify water in fuel. Those of us who don’t have the ability to drain our water filter housings don’t have any other options but to trust the chemistry to work 🤷🏼♂️ I did confirm with FPPF that their products do bond the water molecules to the fuel and allow them to be burned with the fuel.
What happens when engine is not running and you have fuel with water mixed? Corrosion, rust inside the pump and injectors. Fuel filters designed to stop water from entering injectors and pump. Filter media will absorb water and would not allow water from passing through unless it reaches filter capacity. Change filters more often than factory say and you will never have to worry about water
@@repairvehicle In over 20 years of driving diesels, I’ve never heard of a filter media that can block water. Please provide any information you have on a filter that can block water. Or are you referring to a water separator in the fuel filter housing? Some vehicles have these, but a great many don’t. The idea of an emulsifier is that the water molecules will bond to the hydrocarbons in the fuel immediately. It will never have a chance to collect at any one point in the system.
Emulsifiers looks like work great when is running but when not running is awesome at causing rust which is looks like this technology has flows and overtakes benefits
