I'm taking my van in for aircare today. Since they put a tube on the exhaust and use the reading from that to determin your results would it be beneficial to run WVO or put in additives? Are there requirements regarding running other fuel types?

I think AirCare for diesels is all about particulates.

So I'd hold off on adding any 2-stroke oil or anything that'd cloud up the exhaust.

Despite better judgement, I went through AirCare with a bunch of 2-stroke and Howes in the tank following an IPA burn. I am pleased to report there were no issues at all!
