Would it be ok to add a full bottle to approximately 35 gallons of gas? I'm aware of the instructions, but not sure what is okay because first it says add a full bottle to a full tank of gas, of course that could be any amount, and then that one bottle treats up to 100 gallons of gasoline. Do I...

Never heard of that before, but apparently Ford has made a statement that it's completely normal and no repairs should be attempted.

I think that when it occurs for a little time after cold start, that's pretty normal. But if it occurs when hot, maybe something wrong? I remember reading an old thread on some forum, people discussed about this seemingly low oil pressure on LS, someone said that he took a brand new van with...

We have to remember, that it's also about the volume that the oil pump makes, not just pressure.

Nice to see a decent thread about this issue. I've had some concerns too about my oil pressure, 2008 95k LY6 6.0 engine. Works like a charm, no oil consumption at all. Idle oil pressure when properly hot was 20psi, cruising at 1500rpm 30psi. That was using Mobil1 5w-30 fullsyn, WIX XP filter...

Update. Replaced pickup tube o-ring. Apparently, at some point someone already did it. You could tell that the oil pan has come off before, at least. Old o-ring was fine, maybe a little loose on the tube. Very little to none metal particles in the oil pan when we went through the sludge with a...

That is true. I didn't have it.

Is this just your own thought, anything to back it up? I would like to know more about this, because seems like nobody on the face of the internet has solid information about this issue. Tiny pieces of a puzzle here and there, and you can't know which is accurate. Amazingly no accurate...

Anybody happen to know the HTHS on these products?

That's how they do it on Youtube.. Lol. Thanks, very useful info.

Only AFM engines have that screen.

First of all, I'm in Finland, so I don't know that is the formula here in Europe different from the U.S. products. Oil will be going into a 2008 Chevy Suburban 6.0 90k miles. Almost only low rpm highway driving. I would like to try either one of these oils. From the European site, I can only...

Well I think I made up my mind for now. Spending a day reading different forums, my gut tells me that I have no major reason to sweat it. Also found out that the stock oil pump pressure relief valve starts opening at 33psi. So you should not see crazy psi readings when you think about it. I'm...

Yeah, I know that it has to be done like you said. Just didn't know that you can change the oil pump without taking the oil pan off, but you can. The way I see it, if I go through the trouble to change the o-ring, would be stupid not to change the oil pump because you can access them both from...

I also found some specs that I've never seen before. I'm not sure that are these from GM though. LY6 1,000 RPM 22psi min. 2,000 RPM 30psi min. 3,000 RPM 33psi min.
