Maintenance tips to help prolong the life of your Ford 6.7 Powerstroke diesel.

[@mrglock2313]

AMSOIL 💪 I order 5w-40 and it is on my porch in 2 days. Don't forget your crank case filter

[@kevinoneill41]

Thanks for your time. Still running my/08 6.4 modist tune kept at stock or tow. Not a street racer. 260k km 's and I need a new trans valve kit sensors and clutch package $5k Cdn + $2k install 😢 but it pulled a trailer for probably 220k Km's. Hay this truck has paid it's way. I'll through in a re and re engine or turbos. Just love it. Deleted at 100K miles. Huge increase in milage HP with little to no diesel in the crankcase oil.👍

Thanks for watching! and damn that sucks man unfortunately they all get tired and break eventually good luck and hope ya have it back soon!

[@thefartdart]

Great video man. I used the same set up for years with ford 10w30 with arch oil additive. I did oil lab test every other oil change. I switch to Shaeffer 5w-40 or 10w30 lab results came back was better by far. I do use their fuel additive still.

[@robbybacon7656]

Archoil fuel additive is a good call. Would not recommend any oil additives to a quality oil. The Motor Oil Geek posted a really good video on why not to use oil additives. Covers in depth lab results and its pretty amazing.

Great vid and awesome truck! Love these things and I like to see folks taking good care of em. I hear a lot of good things about archoil but I just buy hotshots because it’s pretty much on everyone’s shelf. Thanks for the content and enjoy that truck!

[@projectswithdustin6405]

Thanks for watching! They are great trucks for sure! Little bit of TLC on these goes a long way. I have heard good things about Hot shot too!

Great rundown of the basic maintenance points. I took a tip from a diesel mechanic & always pre-fill my oil & upper fuel filter. Both save wear on your engine & fuel pump. Question: what tires are you running? I like the tread pattern. Looks like they’ve held up well for the first year.

[@bipedal_earth_roamer]

Lmao “ask me how i know”. Thank you so much for sharing. Just got my 6.7. Can’t wait to pop the hood.

Your video helped a lot. Thanks Dustin! 🤙

[@jasonkubitz9410]

Great video man. Not a lot of people do their own maintenance and if they do, they don't do a thorough inspection. I don't run my truck that much so I use Hot Shots Secret Green Diamond Diamond 5W40 oil. I also use their fuel treatment. I change my fuel filters every 15K along with my air filter. Grease everything up as you said and look for leaks. When I do run my truck, she runs hard towing our toy hauler. Routine maintenance is cheap insurance. These aren't Hondas that you can run forever without maintenance.

[@projectswithdustin6405]

Thanks for watching! And yup you are certainly correct many don’t do their maintenance. I am very thankful for the channels out there I have learned a lot from over the years such as Powerstroke help, Powerstroke tech talk W A rod. These trucks require a few extra steps maintenance wise to prolong it but by doing them it will definitely pro long it! I have owned this truck for 6 years now. Other than maintenance and a few small normal wear and tear items no problems at all.

[@FlatPlaneCranky]

Very important to include the CCV filter every 30,000 miles. That thing will plug up and crank case pressure will push oil out of the upper oil pan. That’s all 6.7s.

[@shanelyshane]

Not just upper oil pan but any seal that gives the oil the least resistance, just delete that shit fuck the EPA

[@jimmy4x4socal44]

Yup

[@outbacker292]

Only the ‘17-‘19 6.7 PSD’s have the CCV box with filters. Best to change it out with a ‘20+ CCV box, or buy a CCV re-route kit and vent into the atmosphere.

[@BW-xz6ol]

Thanks dude. Just got a used diesel. New to me tho. Really want to make it last

[@Pjnow1366]

Nice video and nice truck. I have a 2019 F350 6.7 and I use shell rotella t4 10w 30 with Lucas oil stabilizer and had no issues. I also use hotshot edt every fillip and use hotshot diesel extreme every 8k miles 👍👍👍👍

[@projectswithdustin6405]

[@jimmy4x4socal44]

I also have a 2019 6.7 f350. I run rotella t6 and edt. Oil changes every 5k fuel filter every 10k, air filter every 15k, trans and tcase every 30k ccv filter/coolant/front and rear diffs every 50k. Truck has 130k miles and never had a single issue. And I work it hard. All stock

I have though of installing that as well!

[@skoffco]

No data to show it actually works. I wouldn’t dare put that on my truck until my warranty was out.

[@projectswithdustin6405]

@@skoffco I’m sure there are many dealers out there that would use that as an excuse not to warranty it.

[@skoffco]

@@projectswithdustin6405 absolutely, there are dealers… actually, it’s not the dealers it’s Ford Motor Company that is denying warranty claims if water is found in your fuel! That is ultimately what will take out the pump. They have the control of warranty payments. I wouldn’t give Ford any more foder to deny a warranty claim when a CP4 grenades.

[@garyc5872]

Oil coming out around oil pan is probably due to CCV being clogged and pressure building in motor. Best to delete the stock CCV.

[@projectswithdustin6405]

True I have heard that can create an issue heard those are more troublesome on the 17 and up. Also I really wish Ford would have used regular gaskets like on the 2011’s and maybe 2012’s instead of switching to the silicone gaskets.

[@garyc5872]

[@armedprophet3321]

Never ever would I run a manufacturer’s oil or oil filter. They don’t make their own oil, they buy the cheapest oil that fits the engine specs and sell it. I ONLY run Amsoil in my 6.7 and I ordered a 2023 F350 Lariat Tremor with the 6.7 H.O. , the same day I pick it up it will be driven straight home and that crappy stock oil will come out and Amsoil go in. I will also be doing a ccv reroute that same day as well. I do not want any oil in my intake, intercooler, or in my EGR making a soot and oil paste ! One of the most important maintenance items is running a diesel fuel additive with EVERY FILL UP !

[@67_PowerStroke]

Ford has actually done extensive testing and developed an oil that far exceeds the newest standards. If your Amsoil specify's CI-4, then you are running and oil that Ford has found to create high wear on the 6.7. The new Motorcraft WSS-M2C171-F1 specification exceeds the CI-4 by a lot.

[@armedprophet3321]

@@67_PowerStroke No Sir, Manufacturers run the bare bones needed. They want to sell trucks, so real engine longevity is not a concern to them as they only care about what happens IN warranty. Amsoil and Hotshot Green Diamond oils are the best in terms of detergent and lubricity packages, they put in what the manufacturer won’t. Ask any motor oil specialist and they will tell you that. But hey it’s your engine.

[@67_PowerStroke]

@@armedprophet3321 This is simply not true, at least with Motorcraft diesel oil.

[@claudedeclercq5082]

Amsoil all the way for sure very glad when I put bypass oil filtration on mi e

[@G.I.JeffsWorkbench]

Forgot to add, upgrade your air filter & box with a K & N box & washable air filter element. The air box is almost twice the size of OEM so you engine can breathe easier. Install is DIY, just plan for it to take some time since wrestling the larger air box in place can be a bit of an adventure. It’ll fit - just barely. Never buy another filter element again.

[@lp3172]

Hi, 2012 F350, how often to change trans fluid. Thx

[@SteveDodson-l8n]

If you use Ford oil and filter - why don't you use Ford brand diesel additive?

[@victorgomez5165]

Any reason I keep getting notification that my exhaust filter is getting cleaned on my 2013 power stroke

[@projectswithdustin6405]

Sorry for the late response DEF system probably getting clogged try to get it on the highway and drive it a little hard to clear out the carbon buildup out. Some times they get so clogged the DEF Needs to be pulled and cleaned. Mine is deleted.

Deleting the emissions crap off of your diesel is the major way of prolonging the life of your Ford 6.7.

[@projectswithdustin6405]

Yup best thing I ever did to it!

[@tomedgar4375]

Good oil already has the proper additives, you have been sucked into marketing, agree with additives in the fuel, anything to lubricity, I happen to use Lucas upper cylinder lubricant in every tank but any light oil will work, used atf in my older 7.3 idi

[@armedprophet3321]

You lost me at the Bill Hewitt archoil. If you read the owners manual it states that any oil additive voids your warranty, fuel additives are fine but not oil.

[@projectswithdustin6405]

Hey to each their own! Archoil has done me well and well my truck is out of warranty so that wouldn’t effect me personally.

[@oddlyrightoddlyright2475]

The truck doesn’t take 15 quarts…. 10w 30 isn’t ideal t4 15w40 is what I use…

[@skoffco]

Totally depends on the climate you live in. I certainly wouldn’t run 15w40 if I lived in the northern part of the US and had to drive the truck in the winter.

[@oddlyrightoddlyright2475]

@@skoffco as long as you fall in the spec chart your good if it gets colder use your block heater but we don’t daily our diesel in the winter…we pull fairly heavy and do it tuned so I want oil that can handle the stress of being squeezed

[@cameraguy1474]

Ford spec for extreme winter schedule has 0W40 as the winter weight oil up here in the Great White North. T6 Rotella makes a big difference when that truck cranks in the -20C to -45C zone. You can hear the oil hit the cylinders right away compared to heavier weight. 15W40 would be pretty thick at those temps. 5W40 T6 for summer and a can of seafoam every third tank year round.
