I would BEAT that guys azz if he hit me with a dip stick. In fact, I would probably beat him as soon as I saw him just on GP at this point.

Yep. Just 2 cars show up. No note of engine condition or anything. Was that leading dino with garbage in it in a crummy engine vs fresh Castrol synthetic? Nobody really knows.

Just so you know, I am NOT one of them. I also am not someone who will beat someone for money. I will do it for free and I doubt they will come away with a warm and fuzzy feeling afterward.

SuperTech (Wal-Mart) 2 strk outboard oil
I have a padnuh that was a Ford factory trained diesel tech (20yrs) on the 6.0 and back- real knowledgable w/ the 7.3- plus that's what he drives. He recommended adding 1 pint of supertech outboard motor oil to every tank full of fuel ( comes out to about 120:1 ratio ). Reason being- the older "true diesels" were designed to run on higher sulphur diesel- sulpher acts as a lubricant in diesel fuel. Nowadays, we all know we have to run ultra-low sulphur diesel- so, where's the lubricity ?? Alot of it's gone w/ the sulpher- most of it, actually. The newer diesels are designed for it- ours (the 7.3's) are not- we prolly need a little more lubricity- mine does definately to run smoother w/ it.

Absolutely fantastic plan. Just like a stockbroker, they make money on ever end. Oh, you lose. Tough. Better luck next time. Sure. These are they guys I trust to manage my healthcare, run GM and Chrysler, etc, etc. Yeah, right.

#3 FPPF RV,Bus,SUV Diesel treatment 5.2oz per 26 gal
#4 Opti Lube summer blend multi purpose 1.11 oz per 26 gal
#5 Opti Lube winter blend 6.5 oz per.....
#6 Schaeffer Diesel treat 2000 3.32 oz per...

#8 Stanadyne lubricity formula 3.32 oz per....
#9 Amsoil Diesel concentrate 5.2 oz per....
