In the diesel world fuel additives are everything.

For lubrication purposes, what is everybody using?

Don't need fuel lubrication in a gasser. They won't benefit from it.
(E30 certainly wouldn't help that.)

Bottle of Techron or Liqui Moly Jectron in the tank every 5K miles with an oil change. Wouldn't say it's critical but a minor, yet helpful preventive measure.

Techron has been used alot in the f150 ecoboost world. I use it alot, not sure what it has helped but i use it anyway. Best additive is to run at least 1 watermeth jet before throttle plate to help clean the intake valves. Only effective “additive” i can think of. It performs and cleans.

ford makes a fuel system cleaner that you can add to the tank. Available on the amazons cheaper than the dealerships.

Techtron is also a good alternative.

With the question being asked I have a similar thought... since my SHO can go 4weeks at a time without being driven should I consider using a fuel treatment such as a Sta-bil or would the Techron work well?

I dont think techtron is a fuel stabilizer? You'll have to look into that.

Stabilizer (stability or similsr) wont hurt anything.

Ive been fine, just use refinery fuels and techron at least at every oil change and crc intake valve cleaner. My sho is better in my garage just to look at. Driving cars really beat them up.

Now I think about it, I didn't really think the Techron as a fuel stabilizer but have no clue why I stuck them in the same group.

I may start with the Techron and if it starts sitting more than a week at a time I will hit it with a stabilizer.

unless you run ethanol blends and it sits more than a month I wouldn't worry about it.
