Fuel additive recommendation by Cummins

A recent post on The Turbo Diesel Register mentioned that Cummins officially endorses Power Service Diesel Kleen and Diesel Fuel Supplement. I own a 2016 Ram 3500 Cummins Diesel with less than 20k on it. Never considered adding fuel supplements.

The post didn't make a case for using or not using fuel additives one way or the other. Although, there were some good points brought up about low sulfur content of diesel fuel and the added benefit of increased turbo lubricity when using the additive.

I'm wondering what your thoughts are on this subject and if you diesel guys recommend using a fuel additive like PS Diesel Kleen + Cetane Boost as endorsed by Cummins?

Thanking you in advance for you posts, Smokeylew

You have gotten many replies some know what they are talking about but many are going on outdated information.
Yes Cummins does recommend Power Service Diesel Kleen products. If you do some research you will find that keeping the injectors clean is just one of the benefits it also improves Cetane ratings. The majority of diesel fuel tends to be lower than the recommended Cetane levels. You can also find that Mercedes is no longer going to sell diesel cars in the US for this reason.
"the added benefit of increased turbo lubricity when using the additive."
I don't know where some one came up with this but the only thing that will protect your turbo is using a full synthetic oil like Mobil 1 Turbo Diesel Truck or Shell Rotella T-6 5-40.That will improve the protection of your Turbo. The only other up grade is a good EGT gage pre turbo to tell you the temperature is in your turbo.
