thanks to mpanelli for the source to debunk the scam artists on the cover up of the truth regarding " additives". Money talks...but benefits may be missing in the action...good thoughts to ponder....is it multi level? do they publish results from their " secret unidentified labs"...it appears to...

never had any positive results with STP in the gas. They used to offer a heavy honey like oil additive, that I put in old trucks. It seemed to make a difference in oil consumption. Who has experience with Nutra from Schaeffers? Add it to the oil on a diesel for 500 miles, or add it to the gas...

So.... the moral of the story, frequently dump the oil.The cleaner engine does not make for longer life. Just looks better. No better gas mileage? No better performance? Just look clean, and does not count for real function...Or??? I am trying a product in my 7.3 Nav Diesel from Schaeffer...

Anyone know a best price source for Fleetguard filters? Phoenix area, or by mail?? Also who makes the STP filters? They seem to get good rating on this site?

my friend uses 7000 in his 40 ft American Dream with 8.3 cummins. With oil testing , his last change was at 25,000 miles. He is using the test method to determine his next change. The first change he said was at 15,000 after starting Schaeffer.

Hey guys...I just discovered that the Title to my Ford 29 Ft RV with the Navistar engine...is the 93-94 version..not the power stroke engine. Would that change any recommendations on the future of this engine and what oils may be appropriate. I understand this engine is used by FED X, UPS, and...

I have a 77 chev 350, edelbrock heads, Clay Smith cam. It has 130,000 original miles. It was my dad's truck, and he changed oil every 3000 miles. He tried to " beef it up" after selling his 454 1970 chev. Had heating, and pulling problems, and it was no match for the old 454 . It has used...

I have been doing some research on Diesel engines, and longevity, power, mileage. You might find some interest in seeing the test results about the 6.2, 6.5 Chev Diesel, and hill climb tests they do with Ford, Dodge and chev. Apparently, the Chev Diesel developed by Detroit was designed during...

anybody have experience with the 95 vintage PS 7.3? I read of trannie problems, and wonder if there is an abuse issue, structural defect, or weakness. What say you?

Great ideas. What would you guys recommend of the lot for a Ford 7.3 Navistar RV instalation? I am looking for something easiest to install, and with magnetic capability with valve for testing the oil?

Just spoke with a friend w/ 80K on a 40' American Dream. He has gotten 25,000 miles with Schaeffer blend using the UAO approach, the low was 15K. I am considering th 7000/ or 9000 is a recently acquired 1995 Nav.7.3 PS Ford with 29' of RV. Does the Arizona heat make a difference in the choice...

so would the final answer be in the real heat, i.e. Arizona, synthetic is a plus, or not? Or again, the blend is really just fine. Is it true that once you use Synthetic, you can not turn back?

I am certainly no mechanic, but I am a researcher for years. I am trying to get my 7.3 Power Stroke with 50K miles ready for efficient service and longevity. I suggest you look at www.Dieselpage.com. If my memory serves me correctly, a 30 lb boost continually is a formula for Turbo...
