good points that's why I have 2 sections...fuel storage (or if you're not using your truck much) and the fuel you use. but the best thing is to keep good fuel in it and keep the tank full as you said
I called 2 Allison trans service mechanics and they said 15w40 is fine and would leave it because the trans is not electric. I'm not sure why everyone puts Dex3 in it. They said DEX3 is no longer recommended in Allison transmissions because it does something to the seals.
1 gal of motor kote is...
Did some more research and this is what I came up with;
Fuel tank;
Keep tank full to decrease water build up
Diesel Kleen with every tank full (approx. 8ml/gal) This is to clean the injectors and give you better gas mileage.

My current thought is...
Fuel tank;

Diesel Kleen with every tank full
Bio Kleen on occasion or if stored for a long time (EDIT along with PRI maybe)
Trans and Motor;
Rotella 10w40
Lucas heavy duty oil stabilizer (10002)
Axle and Transfer case
80w90 gear...
M923 fuel preservative choice
Which is best and which do you use for fuel, oil and trans fluid?

Looked up a lot of old posts and just called 2 Allison Trans Service shops. spoke to them...
