Hot Shots Secret What I Run In My Cummins

[@samali4917]

I have a Cummings ISX15 2017 440,000 miles. I use Diesel extreme, Stiction and EDT. No issues with DEF system and no oil consumption. I use Rotella full Synthetic.

[@ChadMyers73]

Hot shots is good stuff!

[@donls1sscme]

A Cummings huh ... it says Cummings on the motor ? Or cummins ... there no G in it

[@SubieSleeper]

The friction reducer specifically says not to be used with stiction eliminator or any other additive right on the bottle. Why is it ok to use their oil that already has friction modifier in it with stiction eliminator?

[@TakeDeadAim]

Just finished up a 3900 mile road trip and used my new recipe of using 1oz EDT every fill up and adding Lucas upper engine lubricant every other fill up along with the EDT. Got great MPG in my "Mini Max"(3.0 Duramax) and the engine ran super smooth. So quiet that I thought it was off from 5 feet away! Love the EDT and also use the Extreme at every oil change to keep things cleaned up.

[@ChadMyers73]

That’s Awesome!!!

[@JamesSmith-m6v]

Fuel additives are good, oil additives, mostly snake oil.

[@ChadMyers73]

Opinions 🤷‍♂️

2017 F350 here. I run edt plus extra LX4. 438k miles. All pulling a 40 ft goose.

[@bobbyherdman243]

I put hotshot edt in my 2022 duramax a week ago. Doing the same driving style and just going to work as before… I’m getting .7 mpg better. Whether it cleans the injectors and all they claim it’s paying for itself!

[@ChadMyers73]

Awesome man I’m glad it’s working out for you!

[@nicholastrvn69]

I have a 01 2nd gen . I’ve been running the royal purple Duralec 15w40. I’m just learning about the hot shot products. Would like to know your opinion between the oil I use and the hot shot oil.

[@ChadMyers73]

I have not heard good or bad about the purple. What do know about HHS is that they test their products extensively Along with fire punk doing Dyno testing. And can’t go wrong with a 10% discount when you use CM73 at checkout

[@BenBen-eu5wx]

I used the Stiction after 50k miles on my Ram Ecodeisel to clean it out. Changed the oil after 10k miles, which created a rear main seal and a valve cover leak. My guess, it cleaned out the crud that was covering the issue. Took it to the dealer, who covered the leaks under warranty! Looks like I timed it perfectly (totally by accident). Anyway, my advice is to use it just before your warranty is up so it can clean it out and expose any issues. Thank you! Not sure id use it now that my truck is out of warranty. The crud is sealing my motor.

[@ChadMyers73]

Yeah sounds like you use it just in the nick of time. Thanks for watching!

[@LemonySnicket-EUC]

It doesn't work like that. No amount of crude stops oil from leaking.

[@pjfan173]

I’m buying my first diesel and it’s a 2021 eco diesel with 50K miles on it. I do know it’s had regular oil changes but no additives. What would you suggest a newbie like myself do after I get it?

[@ChadMyers73]

A oil change with some stiction, eliminator and some diesel extreme. Don’t forget my coupon code for a 10% discount every time you make a purchase.

[@WhattHappens]

Can't over treat, so would a gallon of stiction and 2 gallons of oil be fine in a system that calls for 3 gallons oil?

[@sweis12]

Did you end up doing it ? Ive done it on a 2003 1.9 vw diesel and it seemed fine.

[@josephbrown3647]

Can I mix different adictives together? For example I'm a huge fan of marvel mystery oil. Could I add like 6oz of that with 6oz of secret diesel extreme?

[@ChadMyers73]

I probably would do in a glass or something 1st just to make sure there isn’t some kind of chemical reaction

[@robertwilkinson2303]

Is Docs Diesel a partnership with Hot Shots? Same company under different label perhaps?

[@ChadMyers73]

I’m not sure on the one I saw the HSS logo on the Docs box as well

[@jonathanwilliams3949]

Question will this stiction eliminator additive help clean the back of valves on direct injection gas engine by going through the pcv system? Thanks

[@ChadMyers73]

Not sure on that 1 but I have sent the ? Off to HSS to try and get a answer

[@tractorman2131]

What is the best product for lubricant for the vp 44 I all ready wrecked one pump

[@ChadMyers73]

I use edt in every fill up in the summer and then winter edt in the winter months

[@1967brokedude]

2 stroke oil.

[@fortunatedad7695]

What exactly are the benefits by putting this stuff in my fuel? First time diesel owner here by the way :)

[@ChadMyers73]

As far as fuel treatment these fuels are very abrasive since he dropped the cetane and also has a lot of moisture in it. With running to EDT you improve your lubricity you boost your cetane and also has a moisture dispersant

[@mikz86ta1]

@@douganderson7002 on an emissions diesel truck, the bio diesel is horrible. Even if Ford or whoever says they are B20 compatible, the emissions systems clog up faster and your truck will be doing more often regens

[@mikz86ta1]

Yea, the process that diesel goes thru now (ultra low sulfur diesel) to make it more environmental PC, strips away the lubricating properties and also the standards of which it's done will reduce cetane levels

[@PureAmericanDiesal]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

I got the 4 oz EDT treatment by hot shots. Do i pour the whole bottle in on a full tank or just half

[@ChadMyers73]

Its really up to you. I run 4oz for every fill up.

[@jaredshoemaker9196]

I just had my 08 6.4 Powerstroke deleted. Deleted both dpf and egr. Put all brand new OEM Ford fuel injectors, glow plugs, replaced all rocker arms with new OEM Ford rocker arms and 100hp custom tune with SCT X4 tuner. After about 200 miles my truck is blowing white smoke out of the exhaust. It smells like diesel fuel. No coolant smell at all. Also did a CCV mod. Which products are best for blowby?

[@ChadMyers73]

Use some diesel extreme and also do a oil change and add some stiction eliminator

[@jasonanderson8528]

Will it clean the turbo on a 15L isx cummins

[@ChadMyers73]

If you run the sticks and illuminator in the oil is going to clean the entire oil system of the stiction. Do you have the option also running their oil which would be a plus. And they also offer in oil bypass filtration called the Franz filter. Hope this helps thanks for watching!

[@MapleBearMike]

Not impressed with hotshot winter anti gel. Gelled up in both bottle that was in the garage. Anyone else have this problem? I’m from western ny wasn’t a cold winter last year the coldest was -5 degrees Fahrenheit.

[@VegasEdo]

Found this on Hot Shots website: Diesel Winter Anti-Gel will freeze in low temperatures as the plain product. Once added to diesel a chemical process happens that protects fuel to -65° F. We recommend adding while the product is above 20° F.

[@kidglove100]

[@ChadMyers73]

YES IT IS! I have had the best luck with their products.

[@Thamac15]

You haven't used Opti-Lube then.

[@DontComeToMyHouse]

The EDT has the LX4 additive already in it. Any harm in adding LX4 separately after adding the EDT? Also, can you add LX4 to the Anti-Gel?

No it will not hurt anything to over treat

[@georgelydakis2652]

With your 2nd Gen Cummins, you really should be using an oil with Zinc. Pre '07 diesels need Zinc. I use the Cat DEO, Lucas now makes an oil with Zinc. Valvoline used to make the "Classic Blue" oil for older trucks, but stopped making it. Just my $0.02

[@TeamTopKick]

HotShots Black Diamond 15w40 has a high level of zinc. Delo 400 SDE 15w40 has probably the highest ZDDP in PPM then probably any mainstream off the shelf diesel oil.

There is 32oz in a qt so if your truck holds 12 put 10 in and the 64oz jug. You do not want to over fill.

difference between amsoil and hotshotsecret? amsoil has data for every product and how it performs comparing to competitors, something hotshotsecret cannot provide. hotshotsecret is not bad product, they do work, its just no one knows how much they are better than competitors. good info, keep up good work.

[@ChadMyers73]

Opinions

[@alexbarna9098]

My opinion... Older engines with more build up ....carbon/varnish will see more improvement.iv seen it on my 2003 f250 .newer engines with less build up will not see as much of an improvement. But it will keep things tickaty boo . People who do oil changes with higher end oils will not notice much difference because these additives are already in there. Cleaning and lubing like they're supposed to. As far as the fuel additives are concerned EDT and lx4 are worth the insurance factor because you know fuel companies are cheaping out and fuel is breaking down the day it is refined. I for one will pay the two Bux a tank extra to lube my fuel pump and injectors just in case things are not up to snuff at the pump.iv known several people who have had pumps fail and more than a few people getting bad fuel economy from injectors worn before there time. Keep those trucks rolling!
