https://www.dieselplace.com/threads/lubricity-additive-study-results.177728/
From what I’ve read, and I know this isn’t a breakthrough as I’ve seen several people here mention it, the main problem with this engine that reduces its lifespan has to do with the CP4.2 HPFP and its design requiring more lubrication than ULSD can provide.
When this high pressure fuel pump self destructs (not too common but still a problem) it takes out the entire fuel system which can cost around $10k to repair.
So I’ve attached a link to a study of different additives, and its quite informative so I’ll just let it speak for itself. 2% biodiesel providing the best result with XPD (additive) a close second.
Another engine longevity hinderance is the EGR, and you can already get tuned by MRTuning to remove emissions components, but I’m still trying to figure out the exhaust solution to using that tune and how to block off EGR and DPF. Any input?
I’m not a diesel pro by any unit of measurement, so I’m really hoping people with experience using these products will chime in, maybe someone that uses HotShot or XPD. But I just want to spark some discussion and remove some of the fears behind the Diesel
