How Did Archoil AR6400-D change my regen frequency ?

I ran a bottle of the Archoil fuel additive just to have a reason to play with my borescope but the results were actually surprising!

Thanks for creating educated quality content for us 3.0 guys.

Bill Hewitt smiling down on you for promoting archoil.

[@53Ericd]

I would like to see someone have this product analyzed, maybe one of the oil sample testing companies to see what is in it. I appreciate you taking the time to produce your video.

[@TylerSonnier]

24 lz0 without the ecm update decided to try hotshots edt additive -couldn’t find archoil locally.. regen frequency cut in half mpg went up! Hopefully ecm update makes it even better. For a first time diesel owner your vids are extremely helpful!!

[@philipjohnson882]

I used the cleaner to clean it out and use the ar6500 diesel treatment in my 3.0. Found it likes a half dose and get 1 to 2 mpg more than i was. Forgot the guys name on KZbin. But he is a lubricant engineer and he does alot of tests on his channel showing the importance fuel cleaners especially in diesels.

[@shadowdestined2992]

Used this stuff when my dad’s 6.7 power stroke turbo was all coked up at 100K miles, he was getting about 12 psi of boost even at full throttle. Codes said VGT solenoid was stuck. It took about 2-3 weeks (only 1 bottle fully dumped in 1 tank) but it cleaned the turbo completely and he had full boost again. Used it once every 7500 miles since then and at 130K miles when he sold it, it was still on the original turbo

[@svaughn1822]

Lake Speed Jr, he might be the oils guy someone else mentioned. Great content on oils and lubrication. He has a good talk on oil and fuel additives that he did for PCA. He also has another video which is more recent on fuel additives.

[@Miguel-fh7bv]

My regens have extended 20-40% with this. And mileage aswell around .5-1.5mpg more, a quieter engine too. Never had my 3.0 sound quieter since day one

[@Gameplayer70]

I'm approaching 5000 miles (I've got two vehicles so I don't drive my truck every day) and I've been riding the 200 mile line for regens. Going to give this a shot and see if I get similiar results. I've also picked up the Launch code reader and I've been thinking about doing the fuel sample reset that you previously talked about.

[@brentmcmahon8188]

I watched a Jay Leno on Archoil and the numbers he was putting out there are almost dead on to what you were saying and yes I use Archoil and this for my fuel and I have a 05 Dodge 3500 5.9 cummins with 6 speed manual trans and a manual 4x4 selector and both my Dodge diesel had manual trans the first one was a 1992 regular cab long wheel base with 5 speed manual with locking hubs and a manual 4x4 selector. I am a car hauler since I was 23 yrs old and I dropped a load of cars at Windsor Canada and olnly loads I could find were Dodge trucks and it caught my eye and at this time they didn’t have intercooler and 4 speed manual and I kept my eye on them and when they up dated to a intercooler and the 5 speed diesel so I was checking the dealers and on they way back i would drop SUV’s and my last drop inNashvile Il and they had a red Dodge 2500 with intercooler and the 5 speed manual and the owner’s son was named Brad and he walked out to see what they were getting and I told him I sure would like to have that red Dodge and he said if I was serious after you get unloade to come in a see him and I bought that Dodge 3500 single cab long bed with front locking hubs and he got out the invoice and said that my shop and told them what I wanted to do and I aske them to let me haul my new truck back to the yard the company to get permissionsell to drivers a great price and that was 19300 bucks so I sigh the papers and I called

[@Chilicharger665]

Holy shit, learn what sentences and punctuation are.

[@ITIRICI]

Had 803 miles on my 6.6. Now most of those miles were highway, and 11 were city with lights and stop signs. MPG was 22.8 using BP gas both ways going mid 70s with a couple times hitting the gas to pass some idiots.

[@Meh-2023]

Great video! I had a stuck warning about DPF range. They reprogrammed the truck or whatever...then my fuel economy started dropping to under 21MPG from an average of 25. Coupled with an infotainment system that just does random thing, locks out, needs frequent resets, TPMS that drops out randomly...I am ready to roll this truck off a cliff.

[@hochhaul]

I like the bottle design way better than the Hotshots EDT bottle. It's pretty annoying to have to have that adapter to get the additive past the inner fill neck flap.

[@BabyBang17datruth]

At least the Hotshots bottle has a measuring cup on top

[@John___Dough]

Iv been using the ac delco diesel fuel system treatment every other fill up I don’t know how often I regen but my mileage is good around 30 mpg I feel like I get slightly better mpg when I use the ac delco thanks for the videos

[@andys4376]

GM says that if you can't get top teir diesel use "their" diesel fuel treatment. Someone eles makes it for them. I did see on a forum someone tracked down what is in it. I wll have no issue using something when my 3.0 High County gets delivered next month. The stock diesel fuel needs something extra for this engine

[@mr.yamaha2855]

Don't put the Archoil in for a few tanks and see if the regens go back to being worse again, then I might be convinced that this is not snake oil .Do that a few times and then make a conclusion. So many things effect regens and mileage. Are you buying fuel from the same place all the time, that is another variable.

[@DemonWorks]

That’s the plan, I mentioned it in the video. Stay tuned!

[@chaseydog7956]

Recommend treatment is one bottle every 5000 miles. Should be good for 6 or 7 tanks. I was using hotshots EDT each tank for a while but stopped a month or so ago. My milage has gone down slightly, but I'll chalk that up to increased AC usage now that we are in 95-degree weather. No change to regen frequency since I stopped using Hotshots. I did just order a bottle of the Archoil. I'm up for giving it a try.

[@wd9581]

​@DemonWorks did you run a partial dose or the whole bottle? Video sounded like a whole bottle.

[@DemonWorks]

@@wd9581I dumped the whole bottle.

[@paula7256]

How often do you change your oil?

[@michaeljones7990]

I had same results. Used the Archoil on last two fill ups and got high 380 miles and 420 miles. I just ordered more on Amazon tonight.

[@alexisflores6048]

Run some renewable diesel R99 or R95 I think it claims to run cleaner and I noticed when I started running diesel # 2 plus hot shot additive my regens went from 320 to 220

[@jeffporter7846]

Have you or anyone used the DEF additive? My 21 with 35,000 miles seems to have had a few DEF issues but I haven’t done any recalls on it. I don’t see why anyone would need DEF treatment but I’m curious about it.

[@kencarpenter108]

Have you tried Fuel Ox? I use it in 3.0 and it seems to do really good. I don't monitor my regen like you do, though.

[@asphaltspecialties]

I have a 2020 3.0 with 120k miles. My radiator went out as that happened my alternator went out. Do you think they are linked somehow. I had no issues and they both went out at the same time.

[@DemonWorks]

Not likely to be linked. Just a coincidence I suppose.

[@mikethetoolman8776]

where is the regen info at in the banks I-dash display menu? have never seen it?

[@StephenPaul1160]

It’s under emissions category. Regen trigger shows percentage and DPF SL shows soot load.

[@lewiswatchorn7239]

I’ve run their fuel system treatment for about 10k miles and saw no appreciable difference between before, during, or after treatment results. There’s always an outlier here or there, so you need more data to see if this was an outlier or what people can honestly expect.

[@brycemerideth7394]

I have a 2023 GMC with the LZ0, that I’ve had since new. I installed an iDash right when I purchased the truck. I have never seen over 200 miles between regens. What steps should you recommend to increase the distance between regens? The past 3 regens have been 148, 157, and 141.

[@0000JRK]

I was around 160-200 then went on a long road trip and went to 440, back around town and it’s back down around 200

[@vanlifebiker]

I've been telling you this for almost a year since I bought my 23 😂

[@ITIRICI]

I'm sure he saw many, but essentially, research takes long term testing so it was only a matter of time.

[@germanfornine]

What is Regen?

[@Dyerboi333]

was curious if you used the whole bottle or proportioned it to the gallons our trucks take?

[@DemonWorks]

I used the whole bottle.

[@ndiguy01]

Did the ECM update put you back to 200-300 mile regens? And the Archoil possibly added even more miles to that?

[@chaseydog7956]

I'm curious about this myself. I asked the dealer about the TSB when I was in for an oil change and was told that they typically won't do an ECM update unless you're throwing a code called out in the TSB. I'm not throwing any codes, so I decided not to push it.

[@ndiguy01]

I have a son-in-law that is a Cummings mechanic and he told me the same thing so I did not ask my dealer.

[@steventech3182]

I just order it🇵🇷

[@traviscrown9189]

So no more hot shots??

[@nikcannon3455]

Hotshot EDT and 560 miles in between regen. LM2.

[@DemonWorks]

Good to hear, hotshots didn’t make any difference for me in the LZ0. My LZ0 will actually force a regen whether it needs it or not, in Less than 400 miles.

[@brentmcmahon8188]

That stuff is real it is to clean your fuel system and includes your injectors and this stuff is for real and it does a very good hood job at cleaning your injectors so the first time I used it with a very large dose and after that I did what they said for as the amount they recommended and believe me I am pretty sure I will get 300k miles on my factory injectors o r way more than that if I don’t get a bad of diesel fuel and I buy all my fuel at Quick Trip truck stop and they go threw diesel fuel like crazy and have never gotten water from them and it doesn’t hurt that I run 3 fuel filters. Coming from my Fleece lift pump that goes inside my tank and it has 2 gear motor lift pumps and the first pump runs off the factory and the second gear motor runs off Fleese wiring harness with a fuse and a relay so if one pump goes out you still a back up pump and at idle it puts out 21 psi and if one pump goes out I have the second pump that makes 11 psi and theses gear pumps are cooled by the fuel in tank. This pump is very easy to In stalled and Iam 69 yrs old and it took me a hour to do the in stall and I don’t have the filters and pump hanging down down where every body can see and in freezeing temps the air is blowing around the filters to make it easier to freeze up . My 05 5.9 I have 3 fuel filters a big Balwin water separator with drain but no sincer to tell you that water is pressing and it’s a 5 micron the next filter is a cat 2 micron and the filter on the block that’s a Baldwin 5 micron with a sencer for water that lites up on dash and a drain valve to drain off the water. So with these filters and Archoil that is a detergent to keep your injectors supper clean .

[@ivankorth4458]

Is this 23.3 mpg on mixed driving or city or mostly highway

[@DemonWorks]

mixed

[@sethlover6498]

did you put in a full bottle?

[@bricyn10]

I am wondering the same thing, should I use the whole bottle or half? It says treats 30-40 gals.

[@BCBpanteraclassic]

I used the whole bottle and this stuff is legit! Went from regen every 330-350 to currently at 602 without a regen and my soot level is reading 62%!

[@michaeljones7990]

I think it has a high level of PEA that cleans the injectors and must clean the DPF some how because my start level on the idash for soot level for both incidences was single digits.

[@DemonWorks]

Fill us in on PEA, if you have the info.

[@svaughn1822]

​@@DemonWorksPolyetheramine (PEA) is a dissolvent. It breaks down carbon deposits and impurities in fuel lines, pumps, injectors, and more without leaving residue behind. It’s a potent ingredient. They blend the best fuel injector cleaners with PEA.

[@Bobsarmory1]

@@DemonWorks Fuel system additives containing polyetheramine (PEA) are probably the best chemical for cleaning the fuel system. Redline SL-1, Techron Complete, BG44k, Gumout All In One. All have PEA to differing degrees

[@karlschauff7989]

@@DemonWorks It's the best additive for removing carbon from the combustion chamber of any engine. Techron was one of the first to use it but now a variety of companies use PEA.

How do check for regens? I’ve got a 2024 GmC Denali.
