always a big discussion on the Duramax boards. You've got guys with 500K+ miles with no issues that never used an additive, and the other side who had problems when they didn't. One thing is apparently the manual doesn't recommend using them unless directed by their service guys, yet the injector manufacturer (Bosch) likes them.

You don't live in an area where gelling is an issue so you don't need anything for that. I never used anything on mine, but I didn't have it as long as you have.
