Another vote here for Opti-Lube. I buy it by the gallon and treat 250 gallons at a time. Never had any issues with fuel, winter or summer.

This Kubota lube would be worth knowing about. I've used Stanadyne Performance fuel treatment for many years and have looked for Opti-Lube --but can't find it--so Kubota might be worth consideration. This diesel low sulfer protection thing seems like a dark science that is a big secret. There are a lot of products of widely varying prices and claims all over the board. Sure we had a diesel guy here or maybe DieselPower could come back for some comments on what works and why.

Opti-Lube is only available online from what I have found. Their shipping rates are decent, especially if you buy a couple of gallons or more.

I believe that Kubota Motor Oil is also made by Ashland (Valvoline), therefore, I doubt that Valvoline would just make a product for Kubota (or anyone else) without offering the same product under their own name. It seems that Valvoline is introducing a desiel fuel conditioner.. Is it the saame stuff? I'm not an industry insider, but i would suspect so..

Ashland | Valvoline | UltraMax | diesel

Perhaps an MSDS from both products could confirm..
