Does anybody have any experience running the AMSOIL in the 6.0? I have run synthetic for a long time, but I am thinking about changing brands. Any feedback?

Probably no better or worse than the synthetic oil your currently running assuming your using a diesel engine oil.

Amsoil products are good, but not any better than other premium oils out there. I've been using this stuff from PDD lately ( https://powerdrivendiesel.com/produc...ted-with-zddp/ ) in a few trucks and the oil samples are coming back good. FYI, oil samples also came back good when I ran Amsoil, I quite using Amsoil because of the companies pyramid scheme marketing strategy ,not the because of the products themselves)

I have run Triax Lubricants 'Fleet Supreme' and had great results with that. Thanks for the tip.

Never thought of that. What I normally do, i change the oil, at 5000 miles, change the filter, and at 10,000 miles, change the oil and filter. You think that is too extended?

Put the 15W40 from Power Driven Diesel in my truck today. Added a dose of Archoil for the 6.0, so I went all out. I might be nuts, but it seemed to be running smoother this afternoon on the way home.

I just started using Archoil engine treatment and fuel treatment the other day myself and notice a difference already.

Will continue to use both regularly

Yeah, I need to get the fuel treatment as well, but that stupid bottle is hard to keep in a truck box.
