Well I guess I should have come here first. My old 6.4PSD was amazing on the old formulation of the Delo400LE but then that went bye bye and so did the truck. I traded it in yesterday for a nice new shiny and new car smelling 2019 King Ranch Super Duty with the 6.7 Powerstroke. So where is the first stop ? BITOG to see what lubricants are the best performing for my engine and what do I find but jaw dropping panic as I can't find a good solid recommendation with my limited search skills. I did locate the "Approved List" but that doesn't really tell me what performs the best in real world scenarios. Let me start a little with what the truck will see as far as use but before I do let me say "I know I didn't need a diesel and I said no more diesels due strictly to maintenance costs and that I don't need one.". I did it anyway for two reasons, one gas trucks are very hard to find in the higher end trucks without special ordering and second is that the diesels retain value better. OK now that all that is out of the way. The truck will mainly see highway driving, very little stop and go, light towing occasionally (+/- 6,500# or so). I am a complete anal fanatic in terms of PM and do UOA on everything I own for piece of mind. I do not do extended use and change regularly at 5,000 miles for my diesel.
So without regard for basic oil costs what is the best real world performing oil for my new 6.7 powerstroke ? I do my own services so I know they are done correctly so my only concern is availability. I will do UOA with every change. I did find where phosphorous should be in the 1,000-1,200 ppm range(from basic searching here).
