.....some pretty amazing results for me. Had my ficm turned back awhile ago and the stiction was terrible, even at 50* oil telps. Changed to the t6 and added 8oz of rev x and the stiction is gone. Im not much of a " snake oil" guy but i gotta say, this combo worked wonders for me. Easy starts, and quieter operation is what i experienced. Thanks to all for the advice given here, i really appreciate it!.

 

I had similar experiences. Went from 15W-40 Rotella T5 to 5W-40 Rotella T6 and REV-X, night and day difference.

 

From what I understand REV-X is a lubricant and helps the Spool Valve Shuttle back and forth

I would use REV-X over Hot Shots

Cody did a Test on Hot Shots awhile back and found it was Mostly Potassium (BANNANAS LOL)

I have thought about putting a Cleaner in the Oil and running it for 10 minutes before an Oil change I think it would help get the Varnish off the Spool Valves. The Only thing I didnt like about that Idea is the Fact the 6.0L Holds a few qts of oil so the cleaner would stay in there longer then I would Want

I wish I would have ran a Cleaner at Oil Cooler change when I did it Since you can get Most the oil out I would have pulled the rails of the inject to get the Rails cleared
out of cleaner

I guess at that point the oil rails come off Id just pull the injectors and clean the Spool Valves at that point

 

I got the same thing about hotshots. If i can get a little more time out of my injectors ill do it. I know im just prolonging the inevitable injector replacement, but the results were great.

 

Iv heard Good Results too about Rev-X

PLUS since it is a Lubricant thats got to be Good for ALL Moving parts

so a Guy may benefit from Rev-X for more than stiction

 

It'll work for a while, but before your next oil change you'll finally resign yourself to changing out the offending injector(s). Been there, done that, have the new injectors to show for it. You'll probably be ok through the hot summer months, but this fall it'll be back and you'll tire of spending that excessive amount of money on an oil additive.

 

Agreed. Enjoy it while it lasts, then replace the suspect injector(s). Been there, done that as well on a few 6.0's with all the same end result.
