Default Additives???

Does anyone use additives in their older diesels? If so, why products do you recommend. I'm wondering if a regular additive in a 1985 300SD would be smart and help the life of the car.

Thanks.

Marvel Mystery oil is good. Also LUCAS additives are good. these are added to the fuel system. I've used both over the years in my 81 300cd.
