We have all seen or heard of POWERSTROKEHELP.COM and the mans top end oil change, that there is additional oil hidding on top of the engine in the little res/holder. Before you waist your time. change your oil then drive about 200 miles then check the top end oil it will be the same honey color as the engine dip stick.
Now if it is not you have a gasket blocking the passage. the only thing you get out of changing this oil after you do an oil change is that you will have a extra 3/4 of a quart clean oil in your engine, meaning on the 7.3 you will have done a 16 quart oil change. now if you attempt to do the top end oil change with unchanged oil as seen in the video yes it will clear up the top end oil and seem like you have done good and yes it will sound better, but drive it for 200 miles and check again it will be as dirty as the unchanged oil.
FACT: There is more than enough oil exchanged from the top to the bottom pan.
FACT: Powerstrokehelp.com is selling video,s and his service
FACT: He even states in the youtube video " you ever wonder why when you change your oil its dirty shortly after" He made his own mistake by admitting this is not actually needed.
FACT: Per his video if you put new oil in and dump 2 bottles of what ever oil additive you want in, meaning additive in the 15 quart oil change and a additional additive in the top oil change YES IT WILL HAVE LESS NOISE
FACT: You are waisting your time.

Moved to the 1999 - 2003 7.3L Powerstroke Diesel forum.

 

Actually, you don't need to drive 200 miles to circulate the oil in the HPOP system. It can be done in less than a minute at idle. Hit the throttle, and it changes even faster.

 

Welcome to FTE.

This has been gone over many times on here. Nothing new to us.

 

I let mine drain all night when I was changing the oil cooler o-rings and it took 16 qts. the next day. I guess that's where it came from.

 

Do you mean with the oil cooler off, or just loosened up??
