We have the ten guys for the test program already. You can mention this thread and Diesel Bombers, if you call and want to order some RevX, and we can give you a discount.

Sounds like this is going well for you guys.

 

i have about 2000 miles befor my oil change,can i put it in now or do it when i change the oil?

 

No problem by going ahead and adding the Rev-X now. I had 2,600 miles on my current oil change when I added the Rev-X. I knew then it was the Rev-X that help my issues.

Some have found by going to synthetic has helped the cold start issues. I went form the Motorcraft 15-40W to plain Rotella 15-40W and started having cold start issues. Changed to Rotella Synthetic and it cleared up again. Then when the colder weather came I started having issues again. If you are having some cold start issues go ahead and put it in now and see if it improves. If you still have problems it could be a bad injector.

Do you know What Oil you currently running? Adding the Rev-X may extend you oil change too.

 

Yup!

 

I was told that the amsoil could be ran up to 25k or 1 year as well. thought it sounded a little "out there" so the first time i put amsoil in it, i took a sample every 5k and had it tested up to 25k. all was good on each report, so i just run it 20k and change it now.

 

thanks im putting it in now

 

May have found out why my Turbo has been working better with the Rev-X. Got my Oil Analysis back before adding and this is what they said.

From Blackstone
The high copper and lead readings would initially suggest a serious problem developing in the bearings, but these levels of metal also tend to turn up when Restore additive has been used. If that is not the case here then this 6.0L may need some attention. All other wear metals read right around universal averages, which are based on an oil run of about 5,200 miles. The oil's viscosity was quite low for 5W/40, reading more in the 10W/30 range. No fuel was present, and the TBN read strong at 7.3, showing lots of active additive left. Let us know on the Restore.

No Restore has been added.

Maybe the bearings in the Turbo. Going to dealer to have it checked Monday if they are open.

 

I was told the same thing by my local amsoil salesman, then I went on the powerstroke forums and a lot of the techs told me I was insane to go that long, and I was also told that by some of the amsoil dealers ON the powerstroke site. The 6.0 is a high shearing motor and the oil should be changed often in it, at least this is what I've come to find on the boards... FWIW.

Donedunit - interesting... How many miles do you have on your truck? Keep us updated with that.

 

i put the rev x in 2 nights ago and it helped with the cold starts, and it feels like it is working better too. il be changeing the oil soon in it so what oil would be the one to get?

 

I took a roadtrip over the weekend, I tried to drive easy and keep it at 65 or less. I filled it right to the top of the neck, went 286.4 miles mostly highway. I topped it off with 13.5 gal, so I come up with 21.2mpg. Still starts and runs great.
