Oil change question

Does anybody know of a product that I can add to my oil just before I change the oil to flush out the motor really good? Years ago in a car, I used to use a motor flush about every year. Did not know if anybody had done that with a diesel?

Thank you geniuses in advance.

Never tried it, but I've heard Sea Foam works good. You can watch some You Tube videos and decide for yourself.

And Roll Tide!

Id be leary myself. Geez, most diesel oils are loaded with detergents off the get go as well. If anything id use a quart of marvel mystery oil which Ive see work great on stuck SBC lifters, but hey..that was a POC worn out chevy.

Yeah honestly I wouldn't add anything to it except Archoil if you aren't running Rotella T6, to prevent stiction. Otherwise, just drain, swap filters, and refill.

With the 6.0, the injectors are activated by High pressure oil. Dislodging gunk would probably jam up your injectors and get very expensive for you. Use a good quality oil that will clean slowly over time and a Stiction eliminator should work fine for you.
