Just bought an 03, Ford F250 Super duty, V10 motor. I have about 300 miles on it now, I think the break in is 500 if I am not mistaken. With this truck, I would like to stay with the same oil all the time. It does kind of scare me though, the manual calls for 5W20. That is almost water I think...

The fact that the diesel costs a shade over $5,000 more, that I know several people with diesels and the mileage claims I read about were pretty much bogus. The diesels aren't getting all that much better mileage than the V10, maybe 2mpg. The fact that around here, diesel fuel is actually more...

Ray, what is the redline on that motor? I understood that it was supposed to rev higher than an 8, which would make sence. Just wondering though, if it pulls hard all through the rev band, or if it has to build some revs before it pulls. I know what the tech sheets say, just wondering what a...

It sure does look shorter, must just be the picture. So there are two more cyl's to lubricate and they use the same amount, interesting. I trust they know what they are doing, it is just interesting. In effect, they have added a quarter of an engine but not a quarter more oil. Off topic, how do...

I don't have a comment about auto-rx. However, I just yesterday bought an 03 super duty with 6.8 v10. It will be delivered from the depot next weekend. My concern is, that filter looks tiny. Smaller than the one on my 4.6 v8. What's the deal with that? How many qts of oil does the v10 hold? Thanks..

Okay then. Refilled with Texaco 87 octane, used Neutra 1 bottle for 27 gallons. I am still sitting on full after 72 miles of driving with the A/C on, extended idle time etc. It had to be the Shell high octane gas. I don't know how or why. My wife reports the same from the 87 octane Phillips...

I don't think so!!!!!!!

Well, I am open to suggestions. I have checked and had a friend of mine do a visual at his house (he is the lead tech at a Ford shop.) He found nothing visually as in leaks. He is as ????ed as I am. He drove it and said it performed better than most 4.6s which made him wonder even more what is...

Well, it does say "for gas or diesel engines" on the label. Therefore, it appears to be the right one.

I still have the bottle, I bought 8 the first time. It doesn't tell me what number it is though.

I don't plan on using the high octane on the next fill. I'll see how it does at 87 again, also without the Neutra. It certainly can't be much worse. I am going to reserve judgement on the Neutra. I actually planned on dumping some in my crank case right before my next oil change. I haven't...

This was the first tank with Neutra for the van. The tank before the Neutra, she ran 600+ miles before she put gas in again (when the low fuel light came on.) The next tank, with Neutra, she got about 390 miles when the low fuel light came on. She filled up today at a Phillips 66 station on the...

Well, maybe because they were knocking? As I stated during this thread, that is why I went to higher octane.

My wife has put more gas into her van, I think she hit a Phillips station on the way home. As for the truck, no. I took time off this week so haven't driven as much. I looked yesterday and still had a bit over a quarter tank left, it was at 100 and some miles. I think 121, can't recall exactly...

I agree Bob. I can't believe that a few ounces of a product would cause this, no possible way. I can't explain it otherwise. I can say with 100% certainty, that no fuel has been stolen. Wouldn't it be odd that two vehicles locked in a garage at night, 30 miles apart during the work day, are...
