Re: Warning to 6.0 PSD Owners with Amsoil System
Twolost,
Your oil analysis indicates you are using SAE 30W oil. Is that right? I think most everyone using Amsoil are using the Synthetic Heavy-Duty Diesel & Marine Motor Oil SAE 15W-40. Probably...

Re: Warning to 6.0 PSD Owners with Amsoil System
Called Amsoil this morning, and spoke with Brian K(for privacy, I'd rather not post anyone's last name in a forum). I let him know that I had a 2006 Ford E350-based Sportsmobile with a 6.0L diesel...

Re: Warning to 6.0 PSD Owners with Amsoil System
Agreed, but given that Jim has been an Amsoil rep for years, and has direct access to the senior-most techs at Amsoil, to the best of my knowledge, he's the most qualified person so far to make a...

Re: Warning to 6.0 PSD Owners with Amsoil System
Jeffrey,
Since you changed the filters (are you using a Donaldson?) and removed the restrictor, next time you run the engine for 15 minutes or more, can you check to see if both filters are warm?...

Re: Amsoil lines crossed fix problem.
Jim,
