Fuel additives

Is there anything that I can't use for an anti-gel additive in these motors? I usually run Howes with 2 stroke oil mixed in and I'm pretty sure I don't need the 2 stroke since these things are meant to run on the ULSD. Sorry for the newb question but I'm used to the old 7.3 and it's starting to get cool here so I want to be ready.

Ford has good stuff for a good price.

I've been using the Cetane booster performance improver year round.

Ok so it sounds like I can run the same anti-gel stuff in this one that I ran in my 7.3s. Thanks everyone.

You can run Power Service Diesel Kleen. It is a cleaner and cetane boost. They have a gray bottle and a white bottle. The gray bottle is for warmer months and the white bottle is for colder months(it has anti-gel). The bottles are only like $8 and they treat 100 gallons. You can get it at AutoZone.

As long as it's ULSD compatible and doesn't have any alcohol in it.

I have run powerservice in every tank. It ends up being an extra $2 per fill up. My 6.0 is going on 7 years without one injector or fuel related issue.
