ok I put the 10W30 in have not reconnected the edge chip yet but I have a lack of power and the engine feels like it is no running on all cylinders. It did notstall and it seemed to start better though. That filter was a struglle without the right tools......screw driver being the best option in the end. There is a very visible oil leak that is running from around midway up the back of the engine where around rear seal I think. I am going to drop it off at one of my more reliable mechanics tommorrow.

Im having almost same problem and can't get any help. I have a 2002 7.3 and it cranks fine in the morning but after i pull out on the road and start to drive it acts like it runs out of fuel. after the second time of struggling to crank it. It will run fine the rest of the day. If i let it idle tell it warms up I have no problems. Anyone have any suggestions. New fuel filter i stay on top of that and I stay on oil changes but I do use lucas oil additive could it be to thick? causing me problems It never has done this before.

Lucas oil treatment should never be used in the 7.3 or any diesel that has a HEUI design. The Lucas oil treatment will cause the oil to foam.

Lol I tried to figure out how to start my own thread but could not figure it out but thank you for the info on no Lucas! I will change the oil and not put it back in. I just noticed my engine was much quieter with it in so I kept doing it every change.
