I use hotshot oil treatment in all my gas vehicles, noticed less vibration, my gas truck went from 12.5 mpg to 14.5-15 on long trips, I will continue using their products

Reminds me of an infomercial late at night.

Have been using hot shots everyday treatment for many years in 2 of my diesel trucks. Haven't seen much MPG increase but the lubricity factor has assisted in the fuel system. Even the fass lift pump has benefited.

Love it Very Honest Talk with Kyle From Hot Shot's Secret , Nice to hear some one being that way !! :)

I been using the edt for the past few months and I was averaging 14.5 on my lbz bow I am at 15.5 almost 16 so I am happy about that

In San Diego we're seeing renewable diesel 95% biomass. Cetane's way up there. Not seeing any change in my mpg. '07 5.9 Cummins. I've never seen any increase in fuel economy and I've tried a dozen including HS..

I use Archoil 9100 with every oil change (5,000 miles) and their fuel treatment at each fill up in my 2002 7.3 PS and I can’t find any increase in power or MPG, but I had to finally lift the engine out to change my leaking oil pan and I changed out my glow plugs at the same time. Journals and bearings looked like new and I pulled an injector on each bank and found no issues. That’s 500,000 plus miles with no real issues except for some of the usual 7.3 suspects, water pumps, belts, etc. Proper maintenance with quality additives will save you from huge repair costs in the long run.

You haven't been using those additives for all of those miles so you can't actually know if they helped. I haven't used them and my 450k mile 7.3 is running just fine.

Ran edt in my 6.7 cummins and 6.7 powerstroke, all it did was hurt fuel mileage. Run nothing now

Ask that man how I get a hotshots coozie!? Need that one for the collection!! Love the show my friend!

This was a very interesting pod cast. I heard a lot of great things; better economy, longevity do due to lubricity and anti-gelling. Great things for the engine and fuel system. I didn't hear anything about when this burns off in the combustion process. Do Hot Shots have any data from tests with emission systems? I would really hate to plug up my diesel particulate filter after using 300 gallons of fuel. Have they worked closely with any particular tuners to see if any difference is see over a long period? (Say 10K miles)

I use the EDT every fill up on my GMC Canyon works great 👍 went from 26mpg to 31mpg. Great product.

I live in Florida and this is great information I am interested though as to where I can get this additive you're speaking of to put in my Duramax to get better mpgs?

You need to modify your bottles where your Every Day measures the product just as the smaller bottles. It is hard to judge them equally! I use EDT at every fill, and the other at every 1k mile dose. I need you to set the bottles where they are measured for me.

I've only used the diesel extreme addictive. My 2012 150,000 mile bmw felt the best it ever has. My normal trip to work I went from 41mpg too 54mpg range. I've got stiction and fr3. Adding it into my differential. Will continue to use these products. Definitely need to try a few other products like edt

I have used the stiction eliminator and the fuel additive FOR YEARS and in my opinion and experience it was waisted money it doesn’t work I have spent thousands of dollars a year also with recipes to back this up and to keep it short and simple I did a inframe at a caterpillar dealer on a cat c13 I have pictures and paper work also to back this up and it DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING my injector tips were black with normal wear the wear was normal no different no better and my fuel economy was pulled from ECM and has been consistent since I have had the truck for 10 years so MPG also did not change like they claim …I tell everyone from experience GOOD OIL and REGULAR OIL CHANGES that’s it that’s all that is needed !!!! Non of the products from hot shot secret contributed to my engine running any better at 950 thousand miles when I did my overhaul also didn’t look any better then any other engine that has been overhauled this last statement came from the gentleman that has been at Carolina cat for 27 year’s who did my overhaul so yeah supper disappointed to find out several years later ..

I the day we would dump a quart of automatic trans fluid in each tank and they were 150 gal on each side. But my problem is that it has friction modifiers in it to make the clutch packs grab better so to me I don’t want that in my fuel .

As my review stated: I have a 2013 Ram 1500 Laramie w/5.7 and 84,000 miles on it. I added the Gasoline Extreme to the fuel. On average for the last 5 years, I have only been able to average 13 mpg or less. Lately on average 12 mpg. On the highway I would be lucky to get 16 to 17 on level ground. After adding the supplement, my average fuel economy is now 15+ mpg and I can get 21-22 mpg on the highway. This is the first fuel additive that has actually had results that I could see. More power also, smoother running. I am impressed. Also, I have a Kioti tractor that has always had very loud injectors. Banging or popping sound. I added the diesel fuel additive and the LX4 fuel lubricant. It stopped that noise immediately. And last, we added the fuel treatment to a 2017 Jetta SEL with 64,000 miles. Highway mpg has increased. Cruising we are getting +/-34 mpg where at best we were getting 30-31. We're sold.

Love Hot Shot!!

Hot Shot’s Secret makes specific additives for use in gasoline engines. The Diesel Extreme and Every Day Treatment (EDT) products are made specifically for use only in Diesel engines. Our family has tried both of these Diesel treatments in our Diesel John Deere tractors and our family’s Mercedes Sprinter, and they have improved power, quieted the Diesel injector clatter, and removed water from the tanks. The mileage numbers have improved about 15%.

Is there any test done between hotshot secret products and Archoil products and opti-lube products?

I am a first time diesel owner and I am currently researching &modifying my 2008 f250 6.4 for longevity. It only has 28k miles one it and mine is not a daily driver as I have many cars and other trucks for my farm. This truck is primarily to haul my large 7k lb boat and small 3k lb rv. My question is will these products help me get longevity from my dreaded 6.4. I take the truck out every two weeks to keep everything running normally for an hour trip to the local lake and back. Which I am thinking I need the stabilizer for the fuel. Is that the same as the bottle you referenced on the left of the desk that takes 1oz at fill up? Also I have found from the hours I’ve spent learning about that 6.4 engine that not all products such as the Lucas oil stabilizer is not good for or should be used in the 6.4 power stroke. Any thoughts will help. As I am a new diesel owner and would love to use these products in my new to me right now… thank you in advance.

I have only used EDT once so far, I can see the difference in pick up and smoother running but so far gas mileage has gone down a bit. Drove a route I take very often with my 2021 6.7 Litre powerstoke and set cruise control where I normally do( around 65 miles per hour or approx 108km per hour. Mileage was noticeable less but realize it may take a couple uses. At least I hope that is the case.

The way I have been doing it, because you have to have how many gallons you add before you add the additive, I fill mine until it stops, add the additive, and then top off the tank, usually like .2 gallons. So it washed it down the neck, but I know how much I need. Hope this makes sense.

I feel the best time to add Diesel or Gasoline additives is right before refueling, so that the treatments get more fully blended with the incoming Diesel or Gasoline. This especially helps to blend the additives with any existing water in your fuel tank, as water sinks to the bottom of the tank. Refueling helps to distribute additives throughout not only the existing fuel in the tank, but also throughout the incoming fuel as well. Hope this is helpful.

Some charts and or real life video would sell your product! I’m looking to up my mpg on my 08 Dodge Ram 3500.

It’s all a sales trip to get you to give them your money for something that does very little to your fuel and if you want to add something to your fuel just put a quart of motor oil in your fuel tank the fill your tank up .

If your getting 21 mpg and above in a diesel truck your issue is no longer fuel system related. It's work related and you need a different rig. 2015 ram same numbers before and after but I work my truck.

If your on the fence I was too, it pays for itself and then some

I use all of the Hot Shot additives and want to know how to boost my MPG to save as much as possible.

I do hot shot with factory tanks. that is not an issue, but I need Hot Shot's help or I'm going to start using other additives.

Do additives affect the Fass fuel filters?

I only buy my fuel from Quick Trip truck stops . Because they sell a ton of fuel so it makes me think it’s fresh and their Hot dogs are bad to the bone mustard and relish is so good !

For me, I’ve seen zero improvement in fact I’ve lost mpg.

Marvel Mystery Oil has sulfur in it and says on the bottle do not use in 07 diesel motors or newer because it’s not good for your emissions.
