3.0 Winter Additive

[Crazypontiac03]

Has anyone in the Salt belt or Canada starting using a winter formula yet? If so what’s your take on using a winter formula with the best results on these BabyD’s?

I was thinking going with this one; https://dmaxstore.com/products/?route=product/product&path=2290_2493_3488_3491&product_id=415

however I like this amsoil for the pure fact of convenience one 8oz bottle covers 20 gallons.

AMSOIL Diesel All-In-One works great.  It doesn't get cold enough down here in NC but my cousin uses it in his diesel tractor on the farm in PA.  He use to have issues with fuel jelling and when he started using this all that went away.

Buddy of mine works at GM testing and recommended it. Did some other research and seems it should be good year round additive.

I’ll have to give this a shot. I’m in northern IL so January/February are usually the coldest and most miserable two months of the year around here. Truck is garaged at night but sits outside work 12-14hours a day.

Need advice.  Went to add some anti gel to my 2020 3.0L Duramax today.  Was going to give it a 10 oz shot of additive.  (Power Services Diesel Full Additive with Cetane)  Inserted the funnel about 4 inches.  When I poured the additive in the fuel filler it would not take the additive, ran out, and made a mess.  Question - is there something restricting just inside the filler ?????  Possibly I need a longer funnel ????

Lol did the same thing today! Used the wrong funnel, didn't grab the long one like the one supplied for the DEF fill that was supplied from GM.

 

Lesson learned.......

The one supplied is for fuel -- -according to the 3.0L diesel supplement.

(page 22)

Filling the Tank with a Portable Gas Can
If the vehicle runs out of fuel and must be filled from a portable gas can:
1. Locate the capless funnel adapter.
2. Insert and latch the funnel into the capless fuel system.
3. Remove and clean the funnel adapter and return it to the storage location.

 

There are 2 flappers in the fuel neck.  Pump nozzle is long enough to open both. 

 

 

Not sure why the call it 'gas' in the diesel supplement -- other than it was a copy/paste from the text in the regular owners manual? 

In any case the supplied adapter/funnel is for fuel, not def.

Yes, I used the funnel supplied with the vehicle.  The spout extends into the filler about 4 inches.  Possible it was not long enough or I did not have it inserted far enough to by-pass the flapper.
