2002 Ford Super Duty 7.3 Diesel Oil Questions?

[TyrannosaurusRex]

Considering giving the new Hotshots Oil a shot. Has anyone used either of these oils? Anyone know the difference in Green vs Blue Diamond?
Biggest best oil filter recommended?

 

[4WD]

15w40 … but all PAO ?

So that oil carries the specification Ford states for your engine?

 

[SwampSurvivor]

Is it really $42 a gallon? Seems at that price, T6 is a much, much better purchase.

Motorcraft oil filter and any major brand oil that meets the recommended specs. Syn oil isn't needed in the 7>3 unless you live in arctic conditions.

Try it and post some VOA/UOA data.... interesting product range.

Anyone know what type of carbon buckeyballs they are using as nano "FR3"????

Their website has all the info you need.

GroupIII synthetic and II/III blends:

Knuckle dragging oil... this would be an interesting VOA... wonder if my car would notice this if I drained out the 0w16?
Increased TBN
Zinc levels nearly 3 times that of CK-4 oils
Antimony levels over 400 ppm

PAO/POE:
High ZDDP (Zinc) levels
Antimony levels over 400 ppm

Some of us don't care about cost. Very interesting product range, and not just the oil(LV ATF, gear oil, MTF).

I wonder who or what additive company 'recommended' the mentioning of antimony.

And, am glad that they're keeping it alive

For that price I would be running Schaeffer personally. There’s farmers everywhere around here that put hundreds of thousands of miles on 7.3s with minimal maintenance on good old Rotella. Our 7.3s have lived on Rotella as well.

Wow that is quite a... load there.

My favorite is "Provides high RPM “turbo” quality". That should lock in a certain crowd that doesn't know anything but believes everything they read.

Just like that same certain crowd that believes all the nonsense wording on every single product that Lucas sells.

The right marketing to the right crowd will sell anything!

I run Rotella T6 5W40 in mine. Used to run T5. Have thought about trying out Triax ESP Extreme 5W40 after I run out of my stock of T6 is gone.

Any 5w-40 or 15w -40 you find @ WM or the local parts store is fine. Same with the oil filter.

The most important thing for Diesel life is clean fuel. Instead of spending big bucks on that oil buy some good fuel filters and change them often.

If you have a 7.3 the following link is one of the best resources you will ever have.

Research him in the Ford forums. Solid gold.

Couldn't agree more! Buying an oil that meets the manufacturers spec is important, clean fuel is just as important IMO. Don't buy cheap fuel from unknown stations.

Just my $0.02
