CR TDIs and Stanadyne

[Bob_Fout]

Relatively new document from Stanadyne about usage in all diesel engines.

Not much more than a compatibility statement though.

That's exactly what it is. [Our additive won't harm any diesel engine]

While that is important I would also like to see details on what it can do.

This is their most popular product:

And a lubricity product that might be beneficial for CRs:

No details there, just generalizations. It does very little good to tell me their lubricity product is 5 times more than their standard product when I have no idea what their standard product contains. I am not berating their product but there should be detailed numbers behind all those claims to suit me.

...hmmm...certainly more information than OptiLube provides, but still vague about actual real-world numbers.
Thanks for the link, Bob!

This might help.

How can almost every one of the additives other than stanadyne have worse scar rating and lower cetane than base ULSD?

Also don't see amsoil, schaufeers, or opti-lube tested.

That brochure is from 2007. They could not possibly test all additives available.

 

[03_01_TDI]

Or they tested them all and only selected the ones that faired worse.

Still doesn't explain how those tested made cetane ratings lower or decreased lubrication from ULSD.
