Most seem to use Power-Service because it's widely available at WalMart.
There's also Stanadyne (several formulas), Lucas (also pretty widely available), AMSOIL, Sea Foam, And I think Redline makes one too, some just dump in some Marvel Mystery Oil as an additive.

I use Stanadyne Performance Formula.

i used Marvel Mystery Oil, the one that’s formulated for car and truck use.
But im switching to Power Service because i read that Marvel Mystery Oil
doesn’t burn verry clean.

Hit up your local John Deere dealer. Their additive is repackaged Stanadyne and it's way cheaper than labeled Stanadyne.

Been running it from day one.

A lot of MMO users have reported their fuel level sending units going out. Seems something in the MMO doesn't agree with the sender.

I started using Power Service just the other day after reading all the past and current posts. Both gray and white bottles are available at my local Atwoods store (a block away) and are $2.85 a bottle for 32 oz. Is that a reasonable price?
