There are deep fakes out there for regular maintenance items. dieselfiltersonline carries true Motorcraft parts. It's Amazon 3rd party sellers we need to watch out for.
Thanks dirt. Looks like they will be the go-to then from this point forward. Hell, I already made myself an account there.
the difference between renewable diesel and biodiesel
Been awhile but came across this article on the differences between Biodiesel and Renewable diesel fuel.
Since there has been questions on this subject before, I thought this would be a good article to post up. Plus there is a lot of new users here now that may be interested.
In winter I drain about every 500 miles if I recall. I'll update that as needed.
In hot weather, it's all oil looking stuff. Since the nights have been cooling down, there's more moisture in the can that calls for shorter drain intervals.

It will be interesting to see if changing oil type (synthetic vs conventional) and oil weights have any impact in the amount of oil collected.
Sure will. We will see. Once the cold winter weather is here, it's usually all water with very little goop in it.
I'll let the thread know when I do change and what I go with. I still have to post my UOA report from last change. Dilution was high at 2.0%. I don't idle a lot and the regens always finish on the expressway. I wasn't expecting that.
Dave, what is happening in the pictures you posted? I get it that the canister is an oil catch can, but what are the contaminants (appear to be anyway) and how did they get in the oil system? Remember, I drive a 7.3L PSD, but hang out over here because I am not naïve enough to believe the 7.3L will last forever.
I figure if I can learn through you fellas and gals, then that will save me a lot of hard lessons.

Hey Sous... good to see you again bro.
Here's an article to understand what blow-by is and why it collects in intake systems or an oil catch can if you decide to run one.
I see now... This is the new version of the 7.3L CCV (crank case vent) mod. Racor has an adapter that removes the oil before sending the vent into the turbo intake, which is how Ford designed it.
International has a tube that vents the CCV gases to the atmosphere and many aftermarket companies have catch cans with filter media in them, similar to your Mishimoto design. I had never paid attention to the byproduct of the CCV though and when seeing your pictures I didn't know for sure what I was looking at.
I'm trying to find something in my prior posts and came across this old thread where I posted on my oil bypass filter of choice. I posted a lot of pics so if anyone is interested, here it is. I cannot remember if I posted this previously, but here it is.
I do have an S&S DPK kit and an Air Dog kit to install, so when that happens, it will go in this thread. To all the new guys, welcome. It's good to have fresh blood in the forum. More knowledge, experience and ideas is always a good thing.
I ordered SPE Motorsport's 2011 to 2016 injector return kit. I plan to keep it on hand so if or when the small plastic fitting on the OEM fuel filter fitting breaks, I'll have it already. They had a sale for Black Friday so I pulled the trigger. Bought it through User @Bitterroot Diesel he's a dealer and has been great to deal with.
This is a quality piece for sure.
The plastic flexible piece like on the OEM fuel fittings.
My buddy who takes care of my truck at his shop is giving me a set of 18 inch Ford steel wheels complete with sensors.
I already bought a set of Federal 275/70R18 snow tires for a ridiculously low price through another friend who manages a tire warehouse.
Anyways, I wanted to buy a set of these Centramatics for the Cooper Snow Claws that are currently on my 20 inch factory wheels. I was going to buy a set of aftermarket wheels as I have my original Michelins with minimal thread left that I'm going to burn off the thread left before I 86 them. But it never happened.
The Centramatics came in today.
Made in the USA... 🇺🇸
Part number 300318
The spacers in case they are needed...
I'm going to install them when the 18s are mounted on the truck. I'll keep you guys posted...
