This product made a huge difference in cold starts and overall engine performance in our family's 1997 F250 7.3 with over 200k on the clock. This stuff works! Our family mechanic could not believe the difference it made. Truck is completely stock and has never had the injectors replaced.
Im a Fire Chief at a Fire/EMS department. We have a 2003 4x4 F-550 7.3. Mini-pumper rescue truck. Only 50k miles on the odometer. In cold weather it’s gotten hard to start without the block heater plugged in. It has a rough idle at start up. We’re in Alabama so it usually doesn’t get real cold. This truck has got to be reliable and ready to go when the tones drop. I had it serviced yesterday and added these Archoil products and can tell a difference in just 20 miles of driving.
I have been saying this for 5 years. It saved me the cost a set of injectors. 5 years same injectors running perfectly. Thanks you Bill and thank you Archoil.
had to try it on my 6.0 powerstroke that was having a huge stiction problem. with living in maryland temps get low and the winter scared me due to not being able to plug my truck in every night. bought some because of your challenge videos you have on your channel and what a difference. got all my buddy’s ordering some as well. crazy product
I've been using this since I heard about it, I can say from my experience that that this definitely made a difference in my 04 6.0 I won't do a oil change without it.
Truly wish I had known about u bill when I had my 05 6.0 1ton ate the high pressure oil system I would have sent my truck too u in heart beat some of the best knowledge I've learned about these trucks is from thanks for all ur help !!!
I am still on my first full tank of fuel in a 1994 Chevrolet 3500, GM 6.5L Turbo I bought last week with only 89,600 miles on it. It is entirely stock except for relocating the PMD to behind the front bumper. Ordering a sample of AR6200 right now. --- I don't own a Powerstroke but I sure enjoy your videos. - Thank you for your selfless dedication to supporting disabled veterans. SEMPER FI
Today I finished my EGR delete thanks to u bill. The only reason I bought my truck is because the guy's craigslist ad was super long and he watched your videos and had the coolant filter and a straight pipe installed and gauges and other longevity things and he ran archoil so it was a good-in. thank u for Sharing your wealth of Knowledge with us crazy enough to own 6.0s
"i gained the trust of the customer which is far more important than trying to squeeze more work out of them the ethical and responsible way to deal with the customer is to give them the products that ensure their success" and you'll quadruple your business doing so. that customer will keep coming back and will send everyone he knows to you.
After watching your videos, I carefully listened to all your advise and made some changes to the maintenance regimen in my 04 6.0. I started with changing my fuel filters. They were some cheap off brand BS THAT DIDNT EVEN FIT RIGHT. I of course got motorcraft filters in her like you mentioned in previous videos. I then made an oil change. The oil filter was some BS El cheapo aftermarket crap. I swapped it out to a motorcraft filter, added Shell Rotella T6, and the Arch oil fricton modifier and started using the fuel treatment. I am now getting ready to do a coolant filtration system add on and an oil bypass filter. 2 weeks after buying my 6.0 prior to doing all of this, I blew my oil cooler and EGR cooler right after. After paying almost $3k to repair it all, I told myself I will do whatever it takes to make sure that this truck is getting proper maintenance. Arch oil slightly expensive, but it works. My engine starts faster in these cold Washington State winter's mornings then she ever did before. Runs quieter and smoother than ever. And if it all saves me from another $3k and prolongs my trucks life, I'm happy to spend the money.
thats ironic because I was just thinking weather I should add archoil to my 04 this very morning. And when I got on CZcams to research this was the first video from subscriptions. thank you
I use it on a 350 block that had a hard time starting and running. After tune up still had problems. So I took your advice about the product in the truck when slicker than diarrhea.
i was originally a skeptic of this product and I tried it in my truck ,, and i can tell you myself , I live in IOWA , my old semi truck has an 12V-71 detroit and i was extremely impressed when it started at 25 degrees without ether and not only did it start but it didn't smoke as much on startup and seemed to run smoother ,,I am only on my first tank of fuel with it but i noticed a difference already and i have now installed it in my diesel generators and my cummins powered ford ranger 4x4 the cummins is already getting 7 more mpg , up from 35 to 42 mpg ,,4BT intercooled cummins with 80HP injectors and P7100 pump ,,,seems to have more power too
I bought the P-1 kit. The fuel additive I used first since MotorCraft has a Cetane additive I figured this may be a valid solution and it was I went from an average 17.1 mpg to 18.2. Since I can’t tell how much oil life is left before my last trip to Florida I changed my oil at 6,500 interval added the oil friction additive. It also worked well. My average went up again to 19.1 mpg. I use MotorCraft synthetic oil and a stock oil filter my 2016 tuck is at 37k miles. My last stretch 100 miles across Florida to Jacksonville I averaged 22.1mpg. I am a believer.
I tell you how honest this man and his people are...I ordered Archoil for my fuel and oil...I made a mistake and ordered it twice by mistake...I didn't call because had wanted to try it anyway ....anybody with any sense can tell that he's not a liar ...well they canceled the one order because they knew it was a double...I have a 2009 6.4...it's made an amazing difference...thanks Bill..
Bill try -30 -40 straight temp. I live 1/4 mile from Canada. In north central north Dakota. Have 2002 7.3 f-350 . We run p-40 fuel in the winter. Had a guy I know. Tell me my 7.3 wouldn't start with out a lot of cranking at -30 with out being plugged in. I left it unplugged -30 went out 4 times over cranking he popped right off. Snorted a bit. But as long as 7.3 has good glow plugs they will fire right up. Now I don't recommend doing that .I just wanted to prove a point to those com a part and worthless max owners.
I'm not sure why I wasn't subscribed! I have been watching your videos for years. Just recently bought a 07 f250 powerstroke with 345,000 on the odometer ! Just got my archoil kit in yesterday cant wait to see the results
This product in incredibly effective. My 2012 Mercedes S350 had the particular filters totally blocked. I tried the suggested amount into my fuel tank and before long the regeneration process started. The car recovered power and fuel efficiency. I really recommend this product
I use archoil in my 1999 7.3 powerstroke. Definitely runs better, quieter, smoother. Starts great in warm weather. Still doesn't want to start in the cold temperatures. When it does start in cold temperatures runs smooth, no clouds of white smoke either.
That shot looks great, Bill! Looks like you took my advice in raising the f-stop number on your camera! The higher the f number, the tighter the aperture and the more will be in focus. You need more light, but that's not an issue outside.
I've been using both for a couple of years but have found the Archoil AR6200 Fuel Treatment is the best for my 2010 6.4. Because I live in California my truck is stock (no delete) and after I started using the AR6200 my truck rarely does a regen.
My 2003 6.0L had stuck injectors 2 seperate times. I started running the Archoil system and haven't had a problem in over 7 years. BTW, I went 6600 miles between oil changes as i was stupid busy. I was worried about my oil so I sent it to Blackstone Labs for analysis and they said it looked brand new. I think it's safer to go extended distances between oil changes with this in the oil and tank.
Ok Bill, I will give this stuff a try. Nice that you accept PayPal, because that makes it easy. I've been using Power Service additives for YEARS, both the white stuff for winter and the grey for summer. I'll let you know what I think about the archoil stuff.
Bill i absolutely admire and love your business mottos! Need more guys like you in the world. I own a Duramax and ive run many different additives over the years, thinking i need to try this as well if it works so well in the PSD trucks. Think i might sneak in on this here sample promo. Im very intrigued.
Shop told me i needed injectors 3 years ago due to stiction issues when it started in the cold. I started using archoil fuel and oil additive and stiction was no longer a issue. 3 yrs and 64000 miles later and still not a issue
Got the little trial bottle, after the first tank of fuel I got 22.4 MPG (up from mid 16s) and noticed a little less smoke on startup in Michigan cold. 02 F250 7.3 with 313k miles. Stuff seems to do something. Ill keep using it!
Just had an oil change done and added Archoil the difference was immediate. We went one step further with this oil change. Before the change we added Moto Flush. Its designed to remove and clean oil varnish " sticktion". A ten 10 min flush was the tech's recommendation do to the amount of oil in the 6.0. Archoil at every change going forward
Tried the oil additive in my 6.0 this year. It was night and fucking day I couldn't believe it very next start it fired right up on all 8 with no skip and was noticeably quieter.
Changed the oil and added arch oil in my 6.0 Powerstroke this weekend ran it less than 20 miles. Definitely telling the difference in the start up.Im a believer and will definitely continue to use it.also bought the fuel additive but wasn’t sure if I should mix it with ford cetane boost so waiting to next fill up to add.
I have a 03 Duramax diesel with 315k on it. I am guessing you would recommend the fuel treatment over the friction inhibitor. I know this is formulated for the engine oil powered injectors in the powerstokes. Any studies or testimonials on other diesels?
I support a noble cause and saving a diesel engine any day. This stuff is quite expensive but sure on the long run helps rather than robs the Truck Owner. Anyways I live here in Kansas where we have some gnarly winter weather; not to complain as it only gets worse further North you go; my Parents own a 2000 7.3 Ford Diesel and I have been trying to take care since it seems that my Dad and Mom do not understand the investment as much as I do as I have only worked on a Farm working with cold blooded John Deere Diesels and have watched as my Grand dad would strap on a heat visor or what ever to the 4020 to keep warm I am guessing during the cold winter months. I took it upon myself to going out and searching for a reliable product and stopped at a Peterbilt Dealer and the Service Man behind the counter recommended as he does for every whilly nilly that walks in to their store shelf product of Howes. Have you done a side by side comparison to the standard Howes Diesel conditioner/Anti Gel, Power Service, Diesel 911, Lucas cold weather treatment, and so forth?
Took the challenge the last time yall did it. Paid the 4.95 and never got the archoil. So I'm gonna try it again. If I dont get it this time I'm gonna be calling someone at archoil.
Someone asked if it works for gasoline engines. I have an 2006 F-250 with 5.4L three valve. This engine is notorious for the phasers (valve timing mechanism) going bad. Much of the problem is related to the engine oil. Long story short... I had noisy phasers (clacked like a diesel) I tried Archoil additive to a fresh oil change. After 100 miles or so the noisy phasers have calmed down, still some clacking, but I think that may be normal. Apparently the Archoil has cleaned or opened up a clogged oil passage used for control of the phasers. Plus I did add to all my vehicles the Archoil fuel additive. Each is fuel injected, one is direct injection, which is high pressure, not unlike a diesel injector. All vehicles appeared to run and idle a bit better. Two are sport cars, one 145000 miles with turbo, other a German V8 with 110000 miles. All in All I am very pleased with results.
I know since I learned about arch oil (on this channel) I've been using this in my 2006 6.0 and it's run noticebly better. Not only that, women find me more attractive, children respect me, I make more money and my dog obeys every word I say.
Do you still change the top end oil on a 7.3 when you use archoil? When i change my top end oil i put a half quart of archoil back in my high pressure oil system with some fresh rotella even tho the directions . I put the rest of the archoil in my chankcase. I use the forscan program on my phone to buzz my injectors and test cylinder contribution every oil change and at 185k my truck is still running strong!
I have over 300k on my early 99 7.3 with all original parts except for the water pump and rail mounted fuel pump (due to a blocked in tank screen) using nano lubricants. Sad part is most so called mechanics laugh at them. Your a great mechanic and with ethics. Thank you’
you mentioned using the ar9100 and you also mention using the prolong in the top end... can you use both at the same time? do you recommend one over the other?
Hey Bill im going to up grade my turbocharger, im choosing between KC STAGE 2 or SINISTER POWERMAX STAGE 3. Wich do you think would be a better Turbo and horsepower?
Can it hurt to use this on my 6.0 if I don't really have a stiction problem yet? I may be hearing what might be the beginning of stiction upon cold start.
Bill i know your a big supporter of arch oil but have you tried Hot Shots sticktion eliminator? I put there whole line of in my 99 f250 and it literally felt like i gained 100hp and the trans shifts like butter now “I havnt tried archoil yet tho “it sounds like a comparable product.. thanks for all your help “GO NAVY!!
Hi everyone. I'm getting my oil changed today but won't have my oil additive until a few days from now. I know you should add it during or after a change, but since I can't, how long about after can I add mine in? Is it time based? Miles driven? Both? Anyone have a scope of when/if I can?
I have a 2001 350 w/7.3 108k miles and oil changes every 3000. So I questioned why do I need an additive. After watching this video I tried Archoil. WOW! After 3 days the truck is 25% quieter. I have a lot more power going up hills on the highway (a 7.3 issue). Already noticing higher gas mileage, which will more than pay for the additive. Archoil will go into every thing I own... maybe not the kids even though sometimes I would like them quieter. Learned my lesson... When the powerstroke god says to do something... gonna do it...
I did the challenge a while back. I even bought a big bottle of fuel and oil treatment. I unfortunately noticed no difference at all, and no mpg increase at all. I now have a 2011, 6.7 at 67k miles.
Has anybody seen their archoil oil additive 9100 get clumpy? I’ve had this bottle for while and I noticed it’s kind of clumpy. Is it still good to use? I’ve emailed archoil, but as it’s the weekend, I don’t expect a response until Monday. Hoping someone has some insight. Thanks
I have a 2014 f250 6.7 what is the best Motor flush I change my oil every 4K it’s very black even after change it I know they Recommend every 7500 miles but I do to much in town driving for that
I have a small stiction problem in my 05 6.0l powerstroke. I only notice it run rough only at cold start for maybe 5-7 seconds and then goes away as soon as the turbo kicks in. So, I bought a bottle of the archoil oil additive thinking for sure, since my issue was so minute I thought for sure it would fix it... Well, it didn't... No difference after 1200 long haul miles. I've see so many people have good results. I used it in conjunction with the Rotella T6 5w40... I guess my question is, did I use enough of it? I just used one bottle (16oz), and have put about 1200 miles on it since. Should I add more? What's your recommendations.
For a second there I felt like an idiot for not having this in my diesel truck. Then I remembered I don't even have a diesel truck
Lol
I would drive my diesel.... I don't have one either.
Lol, you just made my day with that comment......love it!
As a Veteran I love what you do and how you support Vets.

Bill,
I had researched this product, but I religiously use it in my 2012 6.7 because of your videos.
I've been using this since I heard about it, I can say from my experience that that this definitely made a difference in my 04 6.0 I won't do a oil change without it.
Truly wish I had known about u bill when I had my 05 6.0 1ton ate the high pressure oil system I would have sent my truck too u in heart beat some of the best knowledge I've learned about these trucks is from thanks for all ur help !!!

After watching your videos, I carefully listened to all your advise and made some changes to the maintenance regimen in my 04 6.0. I started with changing my fuel filters. They were some cheap off brand BS THAT DIDNT EVEN FIT RIGHT. I of course got motorcraft filters in her like you mentioned in previous videos. I then made an oil change. The oil filter was some BS El cheapo aftermarket crap. I swapped it out to a motorcraft filter, added Shell Rotella T6, and the Arch oil fricton modifier and started using the fuel treatment. I am now getting ready to do a coolant filtration system add on and an oil bypass filter.
2 weeks after buying my 6.0 prior to doing all of this, I blew my oil cooler and EGR cooler right after. After paying almost $3k to repair it all, I told myself I will do whatever it takes to make sure that this truck is getting proper maintenance.
Arch oil slightly expensive, but it works. My engine starts faster in these cold Washington State winter's mornings then she ever did before. Runs quieter and smoother than ever.
And if it all saves me from another $3k and prolongs my trucks life, I'm happy to spend the money.
YES! We need more people minded like you! We need people like you in big corporations! THANK YOU!
thats ironic because I was just thinking weather I should add archoil to my 04 this very morning. And when I got on CZcams to research this was the first video from subscriptions. thank you
I use it on a 350 block that had a hard time starting and running. After tune up still had problems. So I took your advice about the product in the truck when slicker than diarrhea.
i was originally a skeptic of this product and I tried it in my truck ,, and i can tell you myself , I live in IOWA ,
my old semi truck has an 12V-71 detroit and i was extremely impressed when it started at 25 degrees without ether and not only did it start but it didn't smoke as much on startup and seemed to run smoother ,,I am only on my first tank of fuel with it but i noticed a difference already
and i have now installed it in my diesel generators and my cummins powered ford ranger 4x4 the cummins is already getting 7 more mpg , up from 35 to 42 mpg ,,4BT intercooled cummins with 80HP injectors and P7100 pump ,,,seems to have more power too
I love watching your videos, and I own a Ram.
I bought the P-1 kit. The fuel additive I used first since MotorCraft has a Cetane additive I figured this may be a valid solution and it was I went from an average 17.1 mpg to 18.2. Since I can’t tell how much oil life is left before my last trip to Florida I changed my oil at 6,500 interval added the oil friction additive. It also worked well. My average went up again to 19.1 mpg. I use MotorCraft synthetic oil and a stock oil filter my 2016 tuck is at 37k miles. My last stretch 100 miles across Florida to Jacksonville I averaged 22.1mpg. I am a believer.
I tell you how honest this man and his people are...I ordered Archoil for my fuel and oil...I made a mistake and ordered it twice by mistake...I didn't call because had wanted to try it anyway ....anybody with any sense can tell that he's not a liar ...well they canceled the one order because they knew it was a double...I have a 2009 6.4...it's made an amazing difference...thanks Bill..
Bill try -30 -40 straight temp. I live 1/4 mile from Canada. In north central north Dakota. Have 2002 7.3 f-350 . We run p-40 fuel in the winter. Had a guy I know. Tell me my 7.3 wouldn't start with out a lot of cranking at -30 with out being plugged in. I left it unplugged -30 went out 4 times over cranking he popped right off. Snorted a bit. But as long as 7.3 has good glow plugs they will fire right up. Now I don't recommend doing that .I just wanted to prove a point to those com a part and worthless max owners.
I'm not sure why I wasn't subscribed! I have been watching your videos for years. Just recently bought a 07 f250 powerstroke with 345,000 on the odometer ! Just got my archoil kit in yesterday cant wait to see the results
This product in incredibly effective. My 2012 Mercedes S350 had the particular filters totally blocked. I tried the suggested amount into my fuel tank and before long the regeneration process started. The car recovered power and fuel efficiency. I really recommend this product

Bill is the kind of guy to tuck into a cup of Archoil after a long day
Hell is cold! Been saying that for years... cold fire!
My 2003 6.0L had stuck injectors 2 seperate times. I started running the Archoil system and haven't had a problem in over 7 years. BTW, I went 6600 miles between oil changes as i was stupid busy.

Didn’t really help my MPGs but my truck runs like a dream and fires right up in the cold!! No complaints at all!
Ok Bill, I will give this stuff a try. Nice that you accept PayPal, because that makes it easy. I've been using Power Service additives for YEARS, both the white stuff for winter and the grey for summer. I'll let you know what I think about the archoil stuff.
I need to order more as I am running low and wouldn't dream of running my Hawaii 6oh without it.
K
Bill i absolutely admire and love your business mottos! Need more guys like you in the world. I own a Duramax and ive run many different additives over the years, thinking i need to try this as well if it works so well in the PSD trucks. Think i might sneak in on this here sample promo. Im very intrigued.
How'd it work?
I definitely noticed the difference in Archoil in my 6.0. I have a 6.7 Cummins that I am going to try it in.
Shop told me i needed injectors 3 years ago due to stiction issues when it started in the cold. I started using archoil fuel and oil additive and stiction was no longer a issue. 3 yrs and 64000 miles later and still not a issue

That’s a load of shit lmao
You're the best I will take my 6.0 to you in about a couple years after I pay it off
Sold Bill, I'm going to switch from my combo of Marvel Mystery oil + Diesel Kleen to Archoil
Just had an oil change done and added Archoil the difference was immediate. We went one step further with this oil change. Before the change we added Moto Flush. Its designed to remove and clean oil varnish " sticktion". A ten 10 min flush was the tech's recommendation do to the amount of oil in the 6.0. Archoil at every change going forward
Tried the oil additive in my 6.0 this year. It was night and fucking day I couldn't believe it very next start it fired right up on all 8 with no skip and was noticeably quieter.
Done bill. Thank you
I use this in my '04 6.0 for a few years now...this stuff is the bomb ! No snake oil here, the only additive I've used that does what it claims !
Michael Roach Good to know because I have an ‘04 6 L
So I like it
So u like like
i put this in my 00 7.3 powerstroke and my mpg pass 16 to 18 19 and my truck is on 35x12.5x17 tires 6 inch lift kit.....i love archoil
Changed the oil and added arch oil in my 6.0 Powerstroke this weekend ran it less than 20 miles. Definitely telling the difference in the start up.Im a believer and will definitely continue to use it.also bought the fuel additive but wasn’t sure if I should mix it with ford cetane boost so waiting to next fill up to add.
Freedom Or death I’m in the exact situation lol
thanks you the best 100%
Just started my 95 7.3 and she was one stubborn son of a gun in 30 degrees
Archoil is the only additve(s) that I have found to actually be noticeable in my rig. i am a believer!
good advice !
Thats crazy washington hose co is about 30min from me!
Because this came from powerstrokehelp I know your telling the truth.
I have a 03 Duramax diesel with 315k on it. I am guessing you would recommend the fuel treatment over the friction inhibitor. I know this is formulated for the engine oil powered injectors in the powerstokes. Any studies or testimonials on other diesels?
I support a noble cause and saving a diesel engine any day. This stuff is quite expensive but sure on the long run helps rather than robs the Truck Owner. Anyways I live here in Kansas where we have some gnarly winter weather; not to complain as it only gets worse further North you go; my Parents own a 2000 7.3 Ford Diesel and I have been trying to take care since it seems that my Dad and Mom do not understand the investment as much as I do as I have only worked on a Farm working with cold blooded John Deere Diesels and have watched as my Grand dad would strap on a heat visor or what ever to the 4020 to keep warm I am guessing during the cold winter months. I took it upon myself to going out and searching for a reliable product and stopped at a Peterbilt Dealer and the Service Man behind the counter recommended as he does for every whilly nilly that walks in to their store shelf product of Howes. Have you done a side by side comparison to the standard Howes Diesel conditioner/Anti Gel, Power Service, Diesel 911, Lucas cold weather treatment, and so forth?
I run Howes in my truck, '99' 7.3 PS. I'm interested in how it compares to Archoil, I would say both are good quality.
Bill is saving dollars from flying out of your bank account.
Making it fly out that stuff is stupid expensive... i just use optilube... way way way cheaper.
All this says... don't buy a ford lol...
dumbass
I just ordered SMH I trust you to much!!!
Thank you for such great videos. Would you still recommend the AR 6500 oil Ford power stroke. 2022 model year plz
Took the challenge the last time yall did it. Paid the 4.95 and never got the archoil. So I'm gonna try it again. If I dont get it this time I'm gonna be calling someone at archoil.
We had the same problem. Never received it. I think it was nearly a year ago or so.
Someone asked if it works for gasoline engines. I have an 2006 F-250 with 5.4L three valve.
This engine is notorious for the phasers (valve timing mechanism) going bad. Much of the problem is related to the engine oil. Long story short... I had noisy phasers (clacked like a diesel) I tried Archoil additive to a fresh oil change. After 100 miles or so the noisy phasers have calmed down, still some clacking, but I think that may be normal. Apparently the Archoil has cleaned or opened up a clogged oil passage used for control of the phasers. Plus I did add to all my vehicles the Archoil fuel additive. Each is fuel injected, one is direct injection, which is high pressure, not unlike a diesel injector. All vehicles appeared to run and idle a bit better. Two are sport cars, one 145000 miles with turbo, other a German V8 with 110000 miles. All in All I am very pleased with results.
I am almost out, ordering soon!
I know since I learned about arch oil (on this channel) I've been using this in my 2006 6.0 and it's run noticebly better. Not only that, women find me more attractive, children respect me, I make more money and my dog obeys every word I say.
Lol
Use it in my 99 7.3 dont have to plug her in anymore in the winter here in pa
Hell is cold, which is Ohio right now. I say every year that I should move south!
hey, Bill I have an unorthodox question for you would you consider doing a gas to diesel conversion on a truck?
Should you use arch oil and ford cetane boost?
TRUER WORDS HAVE NEVER BEEN SPOKEN...this is why in Bill's shop PEOPLE COME TO HIM AND THEN COME BACK!!!
Do you still change the top end oil on a 7.3 when you use archoil? When i change my top end oil i put a half quart of archoil back in my high pressure oil system with some fresh rotella even tho the
directions . I put the rest of the
archoil in my chankcase. I use the forscan program on my phone to buzz my injectors and test cylinder contribution every oil change and at 185k my truck is still running strong!
I have over 300k on my early 99 7.3 with all original parts except for the water pump and rail mounted fuel pump (due to a blocked in tank screen) using nano lubricants. Sad part is most so called mechanics laugh at them. Your a great mechanic and with ethics. Thank you’
My 2001 has 545000 on it.
my 97 e350 has 475k lol@@alvarowanda
I was wondering if you knew what would make a popping kinda noise when I have the truck in 4 wheel and have the wheel turned all the way?
you mentioned using the ar9100 and you also mention using the prolong in the top end... can you use both at the same time? do you recommend one over the other?
Dont forget Schaeffer oil 😎
Hey Bill im going to up grade my turbocharger, im choosing between KC STAGE 2 or SINISTER POWERMAX STAGE 3. Wich do you think would be a better Turbo and horsepower?
I’m gonna but these. What’s your opinion On Slick 50?
Did you ever try that arch oil nick?
I’ve never really fallen for many sales pitches but I have today 😂
Any recommendations on who to buy a remanufactured 6.4 long block from
I just bought a 96 7.3. What oil should I use, and what filter?
Can it hurt to use this on my 6.0 if I don't really have a stiction problem yet? I may be hearing what might be the beginning of stiction upon cold start.
Bill, you're dressed like it's cold there. Did it drop into the 50s in Georgia?:)
Haha but it has been cold down here for real.
@Never Gonnatell North Dakota and Alaska. 40 and 50 below zero, Jack Daniels freezes if left outside.
-15 in maine once sun starts going down, where ive lived has been high elevation however.
Bill i know your a big supporter of arch oil but have you tried Hot Shots sticktion eliminator? I put there whole line of in my 99 f250 and it literally felt like i gained 100hp and the trans shifts like butter now “I havnt tried archoil yet tho “it sounds like a comparable product.. thanks for all your help “GO NAVY!!
Thanks bill
Hi everyone. I'm getting my oil changed today but won't have my oil additive until a few days from now. I know you should add it during or after a change, but since I can't, how long about after can I add mine in? Is it time based? Miles driven? Both? Anyone have a scope of when/if I can?
I have a 2001 350 w/7.3 108k miles and oil changes every 3000. So I questioned why do I need an additive. After watching this video I tried Archoil. WOW! After 3 days the truck is 25% quieter. I have a lot more power going up hills on the highway (a 7.3 issue). Already noticing higher gas mileage, which will more than pay for the additive. Archoil will go into every thing I own... maybe not the kids even though sometimes I would like them quieter. Learned my lesson... When the powerstroke god says to do something... gonna do it...
What mpgs were you getting before hand and afterwards?
I did the challenge a while back. I even bought a big bottle of fuel and oil treatment. I unfortunately noticed no difference at all, and no mpg increase at all. I now have a 2011, 6.7 at 67k miles.
I was putting the archoil in my 6.0 and all winter she started up like she was supposed to.
Living in nh I would keep my idling a lot in winter
Has anybody seen their archoil oil additive 9100 get clumpy? I’ve had this bottle for while and I noticed it’s kind of clumpy. Is it still good to use? I’ve emailed archoil, but as it’s the weekend, I don’t expect a response until Monday. Hoping someone has some insight. Thanks
This may be a dumb question but should i run this even tho i use a full synthetic? Im gonna run the fuel treatment for sure tho
I want that hat!
Hey I've got a 2018 Chevy Cruze turbo diesel and was wondering if you suggested use?
I have a Airdog 165 if I add arch oil will the additives be filtered out and just pissing away money
We need know where going in the diesel tank or in the motor?
So the winter version will be the only one i need in my 7.3?
Yes sir devil is in them pills god bless you
Trying to complete purchase but getting error message under zip code. (Unable to determine rates)
I'll try again later.
I want to see a video on the ARCHOIL BEANIE...
I have a 2014 f250 6.7 what is the best Motor flush I change my oil every 4K it’s very black even after change it I know they Recommend every 7500 miles but I do to much in town driving for that
Does anyone have any experience with this product on a 2015 6.7?
Also would this product void any extended warranty?
Thank you in advance....
How cold is "cold"? I'm having hard starting and I'm in Northern California. I never thought above freezing is cold.
I have a small stiction problem in my 05 6.0l powerstroke. I only notice it run rough only at cold start for maybe 5-7 seconds and then goes away as soon as the turbo kicks in. So, I bought a bottle of the archoil oil additive thinking for sure, since my issue was so minute I thought for sure it would fix it... Well, it didn't... No difference after 1200 long haul miles.
I've see so many people have good results. I used it in conjunction with the Rotella T6 5w40...
I guess my question is, did I use enough of it? I just used one bottle (16oz), and have put about 1200 miles on it since. Should I add more?
What's your recommendations.
Stan Gill 1.2 ounces per quart of oil.
I’ve had good luck with hot shots but willing to try archoil
Would this be good for the caterpillar c9 engine
