I'm curious what additives all you drivers use in the winter and also the summer. Is there any brand you like better? What reason are you using the additive? There are so many additives out there I'm wondering if I should be using more of them.
I've used the Howes anti gel in the winter ... looking for other suggestions especially for summer
Additives ... What do you use ... Why and When?

None here, imo all are a bunch of BS snake oil.
I used to use Howes anti gel but no longer. Had zero problems this past winter. When I can burn through 150 gallons a day it’s just cash going out the stacks.

As per RAWZE(Cummins Guru), I run 1 gallon of WallyWorld gear oil GL 5 at every oil change on my ISX 15. For fuel additive, I’ve ran a few but ended up with Lucas. Cheapest I’ve seen it is at Wally world. I try to stay away from B-20 fuel, but if I need to purchase it, I get minimal and add the Lucas. Other than that, Lucas about every third fill up or so.

Howes anti gel. Clear liquid.
Don't know when it came out for sale. First time I seen it.
The truck didn't get used much this past winter. -
Nothing in summer and a number one blend in winter. No additives
