Red Line C+ is flowing through its veins now! - I feel its the Perfect ATF for the 68RFE if worked hard 24/7. The cost per gallon is some what expensive compared to others!
Mine has it easy in the winter - NO Towing!
Just got off the phone with Ray - He stated he was only part time retiring and...
Change of Mind: Local Schaeffers Oil jobber is retiring due to health issues - so looks like the MOPAR ATF+4 gets the nod.
With the Thermal By-Pass delete block installed the ATF will never again be stressed with Heat Issues - so the fluid should have a some what easy life.
I will throw this out there with a 2K lb chain & anchor.
After my first 12K lb towing advantage with our new 2017 Ram 6.7L w/68RFE @ the 1200 mile mark - (417 mile round trip).
I seen average temps of 181-195*F - Not a Fan of these higher temps!
At the 3K mile mark - with the help of a...
I add 1 bottles of the 85+ every 3 months to a full tank - Why? For that Warm Fuzzy Feeling!
I don't Smoke/Dip Snuff/Do Drugs so I have a nice large amount of extra $$$ to spend on Diesel Fuel Additives!
Local shop has the 85+ & Diesel Fuel Catalyst on sale every few months.
Red Line rep...
I have used 16oz every 3 months w/Full Tank since the first tank - mainly to hopefully keep regens to a minimum & also keep the entire fuel system clean.
With Amazon Prime - 32oz is really not that expensive.
Schaeffers SoyShield added every fill up to add a bit of extra lubrication if need be.
Thanks Fellas:
I added the Fram Ultra to my ebay watch list!
I just picked up 6 Wix XP 57620XP for $7 each off of Amazon - now they are back up to $13 each.
I will keep the DBL and Stratapore in my Amazon oil filter list as well.
Thinking of running this filter on my 2017 Ram 6.7L CTD - I have read via the net that this filter is designed with no internal by-pass.
Is this correct?
If so - I will stick with the Stratapore!
Thank goodness the temps are not what they need to be to form supercells but the fuel is still close to the dry line!
Going to be a long night!
OKC is still in the clear as of 4:45pm.
I own a 2017 Ram w/ 6.7L CTD.
I mainly add 6oz Schaeffers SoyShield @ every fill up.
I have & continue to add RL 85Plus when I find it on special/sale (Mainly from eBay).
Due to the Extremely High reputation of the Company Itself.
Can I tell any difference?
Honestly No! But my 6.7L is new...

Thanks Burla - DoubleWasp - ofelas: For your posts!
I own a 2017 Ram 6.7L CTD w/68RFE & I due to reading about many of these thermal valve blocks failing and causing transmission overheating and some type of internal damage. I chose to remove this Thermal Block and install a delete block which...
