Not really sure what your asking but Diesel Kleen is a good additive.

never add anything to your oil other than dye to locate a leak, for gas or diesel engines, they screw up the additive package that the manufacturer already has mixed in. More isn't always better.

Don't put anything into the oil. The diesel formulation contains an additive package to suspend soot and oil nasty crap. It is also formulated to keep the oil from foaming. If diesel oil foams in a powerstroke prior to 2008 it makes the high pressure oil system go nuts. Since air compresses it can't create the pressure it wants to fire the injectors properly. This affects power and fuel economy. As far as fuel goes it really deppends on the local quality. Powerservice is some good stuff to put in since it adds some lubricants to the injectors to reduce bore scuffing. It also raises the cetane of the fuel which is what makes it explode faster. Since you are running Gold coolant there is no need to add a DCA or SCA additive to it. That was for the old green coolant in 7.3L trucks to keep the block from erroding from cavitation.
