"HOWES LUBRUCATOR" Question

[FOXY005]

About the only thing my local TSA sells for winter anti-gell and water dispersion is Howes Lubricator, not being that familiar with
this product I would appreciate any feedback pro or con on
Howes Lubricator.

I have used Howes lubricator since my first lift pump died at 83K miles. The latest one lived around 72,000 miles, so I can't say it is much better than others on lubrication. I am going to start using John Deere additives exclusively in the future. In my opinion, Stanadyne is the best, but the JD is a little cheaper. Plus, I can go to my local JD dealer to get it, thus saving the freight. I used JD off and on, but I am going to stick with it from now on. They make a winter formula which is one of the best for pour point depression.

Here is an independent laboratory test of the different additives.
The JD products were the only ones that stood up to the Stanadyne. SWRI Test

I think John Deere is Stanadyne in their bottle.......

Actually, the JD additive is made by the Golden Eagle company according to the MSDS sheet. Here is the link JD Summer MSDS

The Stanadyne MSDS lists their power products division as the manufacturer. Stanadyne MSDS
