Congrats on gettin your rig back on the road.
Sounded like it was a real blood pressure pusher.
Lucky for them you're a civilized man.
What oil do you guys use?
Do you think Amsoil is worth the extra cost?

Mobil Delvac 1, 23.00 a gallon from a jobber.
Amsoil is almost identical to Mobil 1, which is fine for NA 6.9 and 7.3 motors.
Any motor with a turbo on it needs an anti foaming agent in the oil. I know it is not in Mobil 1 and I am not sure if it is in Amsoil.
Power Stroke motors need it even more due to the extreme oil pressure used to fire the injectors.
I have a 96 motor that Ford did not offer so I guess it must be out of a 1700 International or something else.
It seems to run stronger than the other one did after 2000 miles, and as of this morning I have 110 miles on it.
Not worried about the tranny, but the front axle and driveshafts may be getting spagetti-itis if I am not careful.
