These stiction eliminators (from multiple vendors) can, in quite a few cases SAVE, add life to old injectors. Personal experience shows a batting average around .333 (not great, but a last resort)

Thanks
Thank you everyone for the great information. I have ordered it and will be putting it in when I change my oil. I have read the instructions and if I read correctly and did my math correctly one 16oz bottle will do 1 oil change. Is that correct?

Since running Archoil I don't have any stiction issues. I also plug my truck in anytime the temps are below 45-ish degrees and my injectors love me for it!! Just my $.02

I just want to add my experience, I had the same issue, ran bad until the oil got up to about 150°. So I did the 5w40 and Archoil, and while it did help a little, it never really eliminated it. When I did my heads last year, I did new injectors and that completely eliminated the issue.
The Archoil did help buy me some time on the old injectors.

I have been monitoring a thread about a symptom that is the same as the one I have with my truck. Someone had mentioned in that thread about our Archoil and I wanted to know if you use it with every oil change? I am new to diesel life but I do rebuild my own race engines for my drag car. Also how many miles does everyone go between oil changes?
Yes, that is correct! I have been using it with every oil change (5K miles) religiously. I bought my 06 F350 with a little over 100k miles on it 7-8yrs ago. It had very mild stiction when I got it, so I talk with a Ford service Tech at my local dealership and he recommend using Archoil 9100. I also run 5-40 synthetic oil during the colder months, and during warmer months 15-40 synthetic. I also use Motorcraft Cetane Booster & Performance improver with every full-up. My Ford Tech also recommend it, saying its good insurance for your injectors!

I also have some stiction symptoms on my 03 6.0 and am currently trying Archoil. I have only been running it about a week or so but from what I have read (and gotten advice on here) it should "buy some time" until I can get my injectors replaced. Hopefully its not to late for me and I can get another year out of them to save up. I would like to keep this post alive and see how your injectors are doing after a few changes!
