Yesterday, I stopped by the local Ford house in Lewisville, TX to get some advice on a couple of topics. My service rep whom I have known for a number of years and actually drives a diesel recommended I use RXP fuel additive. He said that it would help in decarbonizing and cleaning up the engine. I read the RXP web site and it sounds interesting. Presently, we use the Ford product Cetane which is probably private labeled by someone else. I not sure if I can see any benefit but it is cheap insurance.

My truck is an April, 2003 build F250 6.0 PST, 4X4 with the Lariet option. We have been through 2 injectors, 3 turbo chargers, various sensors like the EGT and other various stuff. Maintenance is done per the Ford towing schedule. The truck is mostly used for towing but I drive it once a week at least and "drive it like I stole it" for a few miles each week to hopefully blow the bad stuff out. We have 65K on the odometer.

Any thoughts would be appreciated. I plan to clean the EGR valve before the summer.

 

If you are not already, I would suggest you switch to SYNTHETIC motor oil. Probably a 15W-40 for where you live.

I normally put 2 cans of Seafoam in my 44 gallon tank about every 10,000 miles. I then put two quarts of Royal Purple synthetic ATF in between Seafoam. So every 5,000 miles I'm adding a FI cleaner.

About 50 to 100 miles before I change my oil, I put 2 cans of Seafoam in the motor. Just my choice and have been doing that for years. I run my oil for 10,000 miles between changes. I use Royal Purple 20W-50 synthetic and have had great success with it for years. Again, my choice.

I have 85,000 miles on the clock and have never had a FI or turbo problem.

NOTE: One bit of info about Seafoam. A lot of people on this site frown on using Seafoam. I use it in my vehicles (3), boats (3) and farm equipment (5). Have never had any problems and has cured FI problems but notice better gains in carburetored applications. Also, I know of two injector shops that use a 50/50 mix of Seafoam and diesel fuel when cleaning and or rebuilding FIs. Just my opinion!

I know this is an old thread, but how has the RXP worked out??? I read the info on their website and it sounds like a good magic elixir. I added it today to my 04 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the engine noticeably smoothed out and quieted down. Haven't had a chance to test the fuel economy but so far it is pretty impressive. What say you Texus Bob???

 

I never used RXP as I could not find out much about it. Many on this forum have used AR9100 from Archoil in the oil and AR6200 in the fuel. My results have been great.

 

Thanks!! Based on the recommendation of a very knowledgeable chemical company owner I added the treatment yesterday in my 04 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I can report two things. Immediately the engine quieted down significantly and seemed to run much smoother. My highway mileage went from 19 highway to 23. My friend says it works best on older engines that have some carbon buildup. After I follow the procedure for cleaning my engine in the Jeep I'm going to try it in my Super-Duty. The website says you should run 1 oz with each fill up (26 gallons) for 3 fill ups and then every other fill after that. I'm very impressed so far.

 

2 stroke oil or B20, most everything else is snake oil IMHO

I'll add you must be a rep 'eh?

nope. not at all. i can see why you would think that. i bought mine at autozone.

Here's my conversation from Wednesday:

ME: Hey Mr. X, good morning. Your company is a specialty chemical company right? I just bought an F350 and a trailer. Its has the 6.0 Powerstroke with low miles in perfect condition. I'm reading a lot about RevX as an oil additive and Stanadyne as a fuel additive. I don't want to put anything in that is going to hurt my engine. Do you know anything about these two products? Do you have an opinion on whether they are safe and benefit the engine? Appreciate any thoughts. Thanks, Me

Mr. X: the only fuel additive I can vouch for is RXP Fuel Additive. It's been around a long time and works to remove carbon buildup. I am not familiar with the products you list, but that certainly doesn't mean they are not effective. I know you already know this but the best thing you can do for an internal combustion engine is to change the oil regularly and on time. I like your choice in trucks!! https://rxpfuel.com/index.htm

Me: Wow!!! That sound unbelievable. Do you use it? I run the Ford Cetane Booster. It causes a better burn, but I don't think it cleans carbon. I'm going to give it a try in my Jeep first. Thank you.

Mr. X: Yes I use it. The older the car the better it works. the older the car the more significant the before and after difference is.

 

Getting deep,where is my manure fork?

 

jmtbiggin ~ why bother posting if you have absolutely nothing to add to the discussion.

Here is a video from the RxP website demonstrating their product.
I'm not a distributor, engineer or scientist. My friend is not a distributor, but he is a scientist and employs many scientist. He recommended it. I tried it and so far it is working great. I've only been running it for two days, so maybe tomorrow my engine will blow up. If it does, I'll let you know.

I'm pretty familiar with automotive products and I had never heard of RxP so I checked here to see if any 6.0 Powerstrokers were using it. This is one of a very few threads mentioning it, so I asked the question. Even though no info was available I decided to try it. It works great. I've only been running it for two days, so maybe tomorrow my engine will blow up. If it does, I'll let you know. Otherwise I'm going to keep enjoying the benefits I reported. Also, if you check the website the State of Texus DOT conducted a study with the same results as I experienced.

 

Bullitt390 ~ thanks for the link. I read that material. It is what pointed me towards Stanadyne, which was a part of my initial question. I already purchased both RevX & Stanadyne. I'm changing the oil today in my 6.0 so I'll be adding the RevX. I'm going to hold off on the Stanadyne until I see how things go with my Jeep running the RxP.

It seems the stanadyne lubricity formula and the RxP do two different things. The RxP causes a more efficient burn and de-carbonization of the engine while Stanadyne and similar lubricate the fuel. I just bought the truck and the previous owner didn't use any additives and has never had any problem with injectors, turbo, egr cooler or oil cooler.

 

I have been using Stanadyne fuel add for most of my trucks 04 life 165 thou on the clock and same Injects I do how ever run the Howes too and dropped one bottle of rev x in last year with good results, I haven't seen or heard of this product . I don't try to fix what's not broke , but still Interested in whats out there

 

Yeah, i just looked it up, the state of TEXAS has not done a study on fuel additive. I also checked Rxps website for any propaganda, and could find none.

Where i come from, most trolls try harder.

 

Mr. Coronado... I didn't say the state of Texas. I said the state of Texas DOT. That and several other studies are on the RESOURCES tab.

 

I second tat too. 2 stroke oil and some sort of cetane booster has been working for me so far. I'm not going for better mileage, just lubricity and no clogs in the fuel filter. Lol.
