Many additives work fine. Main issue is cost. Two-stroke oil is usually the most cost-effective.
Stanadyne and Bosch call for enough lube to allow no more then 460 microns of metal-wear.
Ultra low diesel usually only has enough lube to make 520 microns of wear (not enough).
Add two-stroke oil at a ratio of 1 to 200, and the metal wear drops to 400 microns. So, if a 15 gallon tank, you add 10 ounces of oil. Buy a gallon jug at Walmart and it's probably the cheapest way to go.
Walmart two-stroke oil drops wear by 160 microns when added at a 1 to 200 ratio.
Opti-Lube drops wear by 320 microns when added at a ratio of 1 to 256, but how costly is it?
Stanadyne Lube addtive can be added at a 1 to 1000 ratio and it drops wear by 157 microns.
Power Service additive can be added at a ratio of 1 to 400 and it only drops wear by 61 microns.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
