Adding anything to the oil in these trucks makes me worry about foaming, especially in the HPO system.
However, Rev X has been successfully used by quite a few folks here to resurrect a failing injector.
This is the first I've heard of anyone adding Seafoam to their oil in a 6.0.

I have used Seafoam in my gasser in all 3 ways and I was very pleased and I will do it again. For my 6oh I have only used it in the fuel (2 cans) and also very pleased and will do it again. I feel un easy to use it in the oil but it looks like it did well

Uhh, you do know Seafoam's just the name, right?
And its not sea water?
Just checking.

I use it in all 11 engines oil and fuel that I use and service. From small 2 cycles to my go fast boat's 454 Chevy. It is also a good fuel stabilizer. My Scarab holds 60 gallons of fuel. I add 3 cans of Seafoam during the final fill up before I store it for the winter. I use that as an emergency fuel source for my generator just in case we have an ice storm and the gas stations don't have any power like happened in '94.

I'm quite sure he's well aware, it's just that many oil additives cause extreme aeration of oil, which in a 6.0 is very very bad. Lucas is one that comes to mind immediately. FWIW, and this has been discussed many times before, with as much research as goes into oil formulation, don't you think that if it was good for oil then the oil companies would add it to start with?

Oil companies are in the business of selling oil.
I used it. It worked. If my motor blows up, I'll post about it. If I pull the filter and it is all frothed up, I'll post about it. Promise.

(It is a weird product name)
Which Lucas product are you speaking of?

Also added a can and a half to my oil for the same problem 2 days ago, I am in DC so there is really nowhere to really run my truck hard with all the traffic so I plan to leave it in and let it do it's work. I think my problem was a little worse than Big Papi's, my truck bucked whenever it hit OD going up hill, flat ground, or down hill.
Since adding Seafoam my truck has never run better, loads more power and the bucking seems to lessen the more I drive.
As for why the oil companies dont add something like this to all oil that is just a matter of money, the majority of engines operate fine with oil the way it is why would oil companies add something that costs 7.99 a pint to oil if it is only needed in certain situations.

I have left it in. I will pull the filter this weekend, but if it looks good I am going to leave it alone.

It's all good. Lucas oil treatment will make your oil pan look like a dishwasher with Dawn in it.
