So I just bought my first new tdi and plan to drive it a minimum of ten years, and likely much longer. I've got an '01 beetle tdi i bought used and have a lot less money at risk with that one, so I just fill it at the gas station by my house. One diesel pump, probably has the same diesel in the tank from when it was built. With this new car, I want to know what SHOULD be done. I've got that station by my house, and there's a Loves truck stop by my work. It's a small truck stop, and it's currently closed for some renovation, but they will reopen soon. There's also a BP right next door. Does it really make much difference what I put in, so long as it comes out of the diesel pump? Should i be concerned with cetane ratings?
Secondly, I see a lot of people putting additives in their car. Powerservice, etc. necessary? Every tank?
