Oil & Fuel XPD Polar-D diesel additive - Is it any good?

[MossflowerWoods]

I know it is also re-branded ad Kioti Polar-D.

My dealer dosed my tractor with it and I wanted some outside input from al the TBN crowd.

Anyone use it? Good or bad?

Thanks in advance!

Be well,
David

I don't recognize the name. A Google search doesn't either.

If you are referring to Opti-Lube XPD, it is the highest rated additive available.

Thanks for the link.

That product doesn't show up in the tests I've seen. Maybe it is some other product re-branded.

sorry, I meant that both are products, one (of unknown quality) trading on the reputation of the other

My preference is FPPF Total Power. I realize that Arlen's test study favored another product, but that is a lab condition. I stick by FPPF as it has done exceptionally well for me and all that I know who use it regularly.

FYI we just replaced the injectors on Arlen's Duramax truck at 130,000 miles as I recall.
