Fuel and or Oil Treatment

What, if any oil and or fuel treatment do you use or have used.  Why did you discontinue use or continue to use?  Curious minds want to know.  David

No oil treatments-- use either Shell Rotella T or Delo 400-- staying with what the previous owner used.

Fuel treatments. NONE except as follows:

If storing summer grade diesel (i.e. #2 diesel) into cold temperatures, add an anti-gel (available at every Walmart).

If storing diesel more than 2 months in summer or 3 months in winter, add a BIOCIDE. Every marine store carries this, as boats have the same "diesel storage issues".

Fuel tank FULL to minimize condensation.

Per Michelin, tires inflated to maximum on sidewall/wheel specs.

Is this for storage, or under what conditions do you mean?

If the coach is going to sit for a month or more, the fuel tank is as full as it can be and has had biocide circulated through all systems (engine, generator, AquaHot).  No other treatments used.
