Arch oil testing on a 7.3 Powerstroke

- We took a 248,000 mile hard starting 7.3 Powerstroke in the middle of winter to see if we could make it start and run better by doing nothing more than treating it with Archoil. This wasn’t the worst starting truck we have seen by any means but the results are pretty obvious.

Hell of a difference! Love me a 7.3. The ONLY thing I dislike on those Super Duty 7.3's are the towing mirrors.
It’s starts better. But you need new batteries. That thing barely cranks over.
You should change your high pressure oil as well. I can guarantee that oil in the high pressure system will be black as can be. Your truck will start far easier by doing that.
How do you remove it ? Is there way to drain to pan or have to suck it out
@@huntersharpe1700, there’s an allen head plug on top of the high pressure reservoir that you have to remove. You will have to suck the old oil out with a fluid evacuator. Run the truck for 5-10 minutes then do it again. Then do the same thing again a 3rd time. Or you can remove the high pressure plugs on the heads and suck the old oil out of the oil logs there but you still have to get the old oil out of the reservoir. You’d be amazed at how nasty that oil is. The truck will start and run much smoother by doing that.
No need to remove it. It is in the same system as the engine oil. If you drain it. The oil pump fills it up.
@@jackylsmith8138, i know but i’d rather get as much old oil out as possible so as to keep the new oil cleaner for as long as possible. That high pressure oil takes a beating in a HEUI system so i do whatever i can to extend the life of my injectors and high pressure system. .
I also change mine. 1st time I stripped the plug. Ran 100 miles +/- before I changed it after changing the oil. Engine oil did stick looked like new oil. Upper was black. I have personally changed the upper 5x at an oil change. Still black! Thus, I don't get the argument that you don't need to change it. Especially either the injector system. My only question is if I change the lower 1st snd add archoil am taking it out of the system when I do the upper 2nd? Yes, I add some arhoil to the last oil fill on the upper. Thank you.
