[@rodp1664]

Yep, been using Arch Oil before Bill Hewitt knew about it. Great stuff. I have a 7.3 and change out the HPOP oil every time and put 16 oz arch oil in that way. No need to leave 1 qt dirty oil for every 4 qts new oil. Glad you discovered this product.

[@tindjin07]

I throw a bottle of the oil additive in with every oil change and I use the fuel additive also. Has worked really well in my old 7.3 and my new 6.0.

[@jackbquick123]

I just got an 03 6.0 powerstroke, first diesel and didn't know about changing fuel filters as frequently as I'm supposed to and the person I bought it from didn't know it either and I don't think she changed them at all. I had my truck for a couple of months and it started missing really bad and no power whatsoever and it didn't make it home but finally did start and made it home. I changed both filters and it started right up but now smokes really really bad and has a slight miss. I'm thinking maybe trash got to the injectors and need to be cleaned. It also had a whistling sound if under pressure. Great video thanks 👍

[@pitbulltrainer87]

I respect your honesty in the videos!

[@tylerbonham7329]

Hotshot secret stiction eliminator will get rid of what ArchOil didn’t. I know from experience.

[@dandorris8531]

Tyler you buy that stuff?

[@tylerbonham7329]

Dan Dorris yes I have used and seen amazing results. Wouldn’t believe it myself.

[@kidglove100]

Hot shot stiction and hotshot Fr3 together took me from 14.4 mpg to 23.4 mpg on highway

[@johnstaub359]

Hotshot works better than all of the rest

[@Doom6.0]

Check your Ficm and make sure it’s at 48 volts. That will cause you injector issues down the line.

[@jacobgomez2682]

Your tech is correct archoil will help the sticking and they will pass contribution test, if you keep your oil and coolant changed you'll be fine, but do not start that truck and take off cold, really bad to do, I'm a diesel tech , let you tolerances and block, oil and coolant get to atleast 80 degrees minimum, buy a tuner x4 or scanguage watch your temps especially if you have a stock style oil cooler

[@seanhatch1538]

Lucus fuel treatment. I buy the gallon jug. My injectors have never been better.

[@norsevikingsir4932]

Hot shot myself

[@richfarfugnuven6308]

Archoil 9100 or hot shots secret stiction eliminator every oil change. I have a 6.0L and a 7.3L and I swear by them.

[@user-ym9wb2mk5e]

@Edgar Scott The original Hot Shots was made for the 7.3, I use it in my 12' Cummins 6.7, but tbh the seafoam is still best for my truck. It's got 247k on it, and once every 6 months I will put 2 full cans of the SF in one full tank of gas and run it till the low fuel light comes on.

[@kubasaki1978]

Replace your FICM.....not s sticking injector. Its a voltage issue related to a failing FICM. Same EXACT issue with my 6.0 E350. A new FICM fixed it completely. My van would barely run cold, ran good warm....new FICM, runs like new hot or cold.

[@mercorwin3461]

Nice truck btw 6.0 n 6.4 are hated by many but been goid to me International motor.my trucks both same color as yoursv

[@norsevikingsir4932]

Well, it is a 6.0 Powerstroke... good luck

[@Ifugiveubegin2live]

Sounds like a good honest take we appreciate it. I got to just add that I have an old wore-out rode hard and put away wet 6.0 Powerstroke and I've been running shaffer's in it and it was having no sticks and problems. Then I did one oil change with some Rotel or something and within weeks started having bad 6in issues so I think I'll go ahead and go back to the Schaefers because it had that same kind of lilubricant in it that archoil has. 🖖✌️

[@theprodistini2590]

You can run a diesel engine on 100% seafoam to clean the hell out of it if you need that. Also you can take the brake booster line or a vacuum line that feeds to somewhere center or close to center of the manifold, and dip the hose into the seafoam while the engine is running until youve put the entire bottle through the engine. If injectors are an issue, start engine and get it hot, Turn engine off and prime fuel filter with seafoam, start engine on seafoam but shut off before the fuel filter empties of the seafoam as you want the injectors full of the seafoam while it heat soaks. Let the truck sit for 20 mins and start it up, let it run for a minute or two then take it for a drive down a road that is not too busy as you will be smoking so bad youll swear the engines blown but it is just all the carbon burning off. Could take up to an hour of running to clear out.

[@haleyy68]

Diesels do not have brake booster vacuum lines or any other vacuum lines. No vacuum on diesels

[@norsevikingsir4932]

@@haleyy68 lol ikr

[@hamiltoncooper3603]

Bullshit.

[@lancebowers6591]

Yes you should let the truck warm up for a few minutes. There's this product I started looking into called hot shot secret. They have sticking products and fuel treatment products. Also would like an update on the truck.

[@timgring4121]

If you just run Amsoil oil, no need for archoil anymore. The oil is better and has better detergents too clean the crud off the spool valves in the injectors and basically has Archoil “built in”

[@elmoremundell9450]

As much as you bashed 'salesman' Bill at Powerstrokehelp .. he was right .. wasn't he? Perhaps if you watch more of his videos and learn a bit more about your truck you'll come to appreciate his advice like so many others have.

[@brettscott3759]

Lol bill is the equivalent of Alex jones....

[@paulkaygmailcom]

Get yourself a scan tool that measures FICM voltage, its probably low and going bad

[@justtinkering6054]

I replaced the board on the FICM a while ago. I thought that was the problem at first too. The voltage was low and the new board fixed it, but the truck still didn't run any better.

[@TheBruceDickenson1]

Most helpful video I’ve seen. I was just getting ready to replace injectors. Going to try the Arch oil first. Everyone has me worried that it’s going to get Hydro locked! The only problem is is that I put hotshot stiction eliminator in the oil when I changed it two weeks ago. Not sure if I can put the arch oil in there or have to wait till the next oil change. If you’re still around let me know if you know anything about this. I might even just drain a quart of oil out of the tank and put some arch oil in. If that’s not possible I might get the fuel additive and use that until my next oil change. Even though the Huey injectors are run off oil, can’t hurt it I suppose.

[@justtinkering6054]

I sold my power stroke a little over two years ago. I went back to gas. Diesel is too expensive on maintenance and mileage sucks anyhow. my power stroke never pulled better than my old gas super duty anyhow. I can’t see any benefit to diesel. I have never heard of hot shot. I don’t know if it would be safe to mix with archoil or not.

[@TheBruceDickenson1]

@@justtinkering6054 thanks for the reply. I feel the same way about diesel vs gas but I just loooove that whistle 😂

[@CountryLivingOnTheFarm]

@@justtinkering6054 you posted this video like two years ago so you sold your truck right after?! Were you afraid it’d break down or what? I have a 2006 F-350 6.0 my everyday commuter. Does the exact same thing since I bought it back in 2018 with 75k miles. I’m now at 217,753 miles. It’s always done that exact same thing you described since I bought the truck (cold nights only) but she runs and drives great and fun to drive !! I love my diesel !!

[@SubieRow]

Bill and his crew are awesome mechanics. Yeah he has a bit of a salesman attitude. But there's no doubt.

[@kcdaniels58]

Great video ! I've got a 04 6.0....I been using the Arch oil and their fuel additive...runs good...just subscribe too...thanks

[@Doom6.0]

I got a 6.0 Excursion last year with 132,000 miles on it. I have not had any issues at all with it. I found out about Archoil right after I got it. I’ve been using it in the fuel and every oil change. I have 157,573 miles on it now. I daily drive the truck. ZERO ISSUES! 👍

[@williams6550]

I wonder how MotorKote compares to this stuff? Watched ProjectFarm's video on that stuff and was convinced to start running it in some of my other equipment.

[@Jayreyes45]

How do you use the arch oil? One bottle per oil change?

[@justtinkering6054]

Jr Reyes when I do an oil change, I dump a bottle of Archoil in the engine with the new oil.

[@Doom6.0]

It comes in a 1 quart bottle. You use the entire bottle when you change the oil. That’s exactly what the instructions on the bottle tell you to do.

[@mercorwin3461]

Good video man I own a 08 and 2010 F250s both since new both over 250k there running strong I change oil every 3k never more than 4k In have always used half gallon of Lucas every oil change on both and 13 are of mobile delvac how much does the arch oil run? $ wise my son inherited the 08 my 2010 the last few weeks has 2 different times in mornings started fine I come inside let her warm up I also take and pick up my daughter from school I'm in NE IN so are winters are usually ruff we just had 13 inches and 1/2 inch of ice on top of that. But 2 times I hear it running ruff as he'll look out and. Oh shit puff white smoke like burning smoldering leaves in fall just smoke everywhere run out shot her down turn key on let cyclev30 seconds start and she is smooth go to tuner pull codes cylinder #2 contribute fault misfire look up already nr Knew generic code injector . so curious to try this out and see if it may help. Its my daily driver only done it 2 times but like you said. Hauling very precious cargo breakdowns not an option thanking sir .

[@scooberdoober8272]

I have a 2005 f250 with a 6.0 powerstroke with 220,000k miles. I have been having injector stiction issues for some time. In the past it was only when I would first start the truck up that it would run rough. Then it got to the point where it would do it all the time, even when it was at operating temperature. I bought hot shots stiction eliminator and changed my oil adding it to the oil. Since it was my first use the box said the use 4 oz per quart of oil. My truck has 15 quarts so I added the whole bottle and only put in 13 quarts of oil. I then bought some stiction eliminator for the fuel as well and added that to the tank. I started the truck up and it runs great now, it has at least temporarily fixed the problem for me.

[@rolandsmith4394]

What brand of stiction eliminator in your fuel?

[@jaimecornejo2185]

Man i tried that on another 6.0 and it didnt work at all. I have bad stiction in my own 6.0 and im tempted to try it again but in my own. Hopefully it works this time

[@coltongarber8087]

You need to bullet proof that bad boy

[@alexisgaona4558]

you should try hotshot additives

[@ricardoortiz2706]

Archoil? wow ok, I'll give it a try.

[@tindjin07]

I've used Archoil in both my old 7.3 and my "new" 6.0 and it makes a difference.

[@markwalters4453]

I have a early 2004 F-250 PSD 6 liter with 250k on it. I have had injectors go bad in it and youu would definitely know it if it was a bad injectoor. Itt could be the FICM,what I would do is get a scanguage Ii, plug in to your obll and program for your truck, will provide alot of basic info on that engine that you can compare to what numbers should be. It won't give you codes, but just good basic info on ficm voltage, oli temp,icp etc.

[@billw4746]

I have a 6.0 and it likes to be warmed up. I never push it until it does warm up. I do use Archoil and it does seem to help. But I think I need a ficm because it does not like to start below 45 so I just plug it in. I also carry a small generator when I travel

[@justtinkering6054]

Bill W I changed the control board on my FICM as soon as my rough idle problems started. It got my readings back in line, but it didn’t seem to help it run any better.

[@billw4746]

My 6.0 runs fine it is difficult to start when the weather is cold. The Archoil does help with stiction.

[@valthakore6326]

Wow, the 6.0 really is a gremlin when it comes to issues.

[@rolandsmith4394]

With the right fluids it is actually one fine machine. Im easing up on 400k mi. Oil changes cost me around $90, but it is still the cheapest horse in the stable.

[@wpbradshaw]

Great ty

[@natewilson7664]

did you just dump it into the oil that was already in there or change the oil first?

[@justtinkering6054]

Nate Wilson the first treatment was in oil that had a few miles on it.

[@bryanlecuyer5685]

You should drain the oil and flush the engine for the first time you use it.

[@screamingeagle9553]

I’ve used both Archoil with fuel additive (bought from Bill H. as well) and hot shots oil and fuel additive. For me hot shots worked better in my case. Plus I can buy at tractor supply in my town. Another thing that helps is to buy better quality diesel. 7 degrees this morning and started with no problems.
