Archoil, the secret Diesel JUICE?!? He was RIGHT... | you NEED this  

Check out this 6.0 diesel that we used Archoil in!!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BEvBqxKVGYA.html

Started using Archoil with the 6400 and then adding the other with every new fill up on a used 3500 Sprinter Based RV with the 3.0 liter turbo V6. After a 500+ mile trip with a lot of interstate speeds of ~70 mph, I went from 14 mpg to 15.5 mpg, and engine starts easier and is quieter than my first 1000 miles or so of ownership. Not bad for a vehicle weighing around 11,000 lbs.!

This is just my experience with Archoil and Hotshot oil and fuel additives. My first 6.0L was a 2006 Xcab long bed 4X4 with 79,648 miles on it when I picked it up. Drove it from Utah to Colorado with no issues. After some time to order parts it went into the garage for some engine updates. If there was an update and I went past it on the way to the STC fitting I just replaced it, other than studs and injectors, no questions asked. I used Shell Rotella T-6 oil, AR-9100 oil addive, and I think that it was AR-6100 diesel fuel treatment back then. When I got done adding things like full Ranchhand bumper in the front, air bags in the back and a 100 gallon transfer tank it was right at 8000 lbs empty. First cold weather I had stiction problems with the injectors which never got better and was probably getting worse. I put 70K miles on that truck about 50% loaded from 20-26K gross weight, 50% unloaded. I added a 100 gallon transfer tank so that I could decide where I was going to fuel up and to a lesser extent when. With 90 gallons in the transfer tank and 38 in the main tank I could go 1200 miles loaded to the hilt befor finding a fuel station. That truck would average 9.5-10.5 MPG loaded and 14-16.4 empty. with the Archoil oil and fuel additives. I changed the way I drove the truck and started driving by the tachometer instead of the speedometer. The 6.0L torque curve tops at about 1900 plus or minus some. I would set the cruse at 1900 RPM. Empty I could go from Jerome, ID to Laramie, WY without filling until there is a rest stop just outside of Laramie where you can see the lights of the city. That was my experience with Archoil in that truck. That truck was stolen in June 2023 just before another trip with, It was cold, 95 gallons of diesel in the transfer tank. New truck is a 2006 Ford F250 Crew Cab 6.0L 8 foot bed 4X4 after looking for about 8 months or so. This one had 117K miles on it. After I got it I started into the engine replacing everything that had an update if it needed it or not. This time in addition to the usual things I replaced the head fuel line banjo bolts with the 08 bolts with the check valve removed and 4 ports instead of 2. I replaced the up pipe with SS and removed part of the scoop in the left side. Kept the EGR cooler in place with reduced flow through it. I checked the fuel pressure spring, it was blue but the blue International blue spring that replaced it was heaver duty than the "blue" spring that was in it. Someone got ripped off for a "blue" spring job. And some other things while I was there. Checked the compression on al 8 cylinders, it averaged from 296 to 316 PSI. Before you tell me that is very low I want you to check your compression at 35 degrees cold engine at 7550 feet in altitude and see what you get. I was very happy with the differential between the high and low compression most cylinders were at 305-310 range. I switched from the Archoil oil additive to Hotshots secret in the oil and hotshots everyday fuel treatment for 3 reasons. 1. was the cost kept going up with the Archoil, 2. It was a lot easier finding the Hotshot products, and 3. If the Archoil stiction eliminator didn't eliminate stiction it was worth a try to see what happened with the Hotshot. First trip out empty (I had about 1500 lbs of stuff in the back I consider that to be empty) I got 17.2 MPG averaged out over 1200 miles with the first trip checking the fuel mileage by stopping for fuel every time. The cruse was set on 70MPH which is the MPH at 1900 RPM with 3.73 gear ratio. Part of the trip, about 30% is 2 lane roads through winding hills In Idaho, I do not consider them mountains although parts have mountain length grades. On the way back pulling a 5K empty gooseneck car hauler I averaged 13.5 MPG same speeds more or less. That would be better than the first truck doing the same thing. I have seen too many tests, especially the Oil Guy test on the wear factor of the oil additives so am going to eliminate the Hotshot Secret from the next oil change. I did not see enough improvement from the Archoil fuel treatment, if actually any, over the Hotshot fuel treatment to justify the increased cost of the Archoil. Improving MPG, if there was any with the Archoil, doesn't justify the increased overall cost of using Archoil over the Hotshot fuel treatment. Even using the "power" dose of the Hotshot's it is still overall cheaper to use the Hotshot fuel treatment. If you get a cetane increase that the PTC can use to advance the timing of the injection, and increased lubrication to the injectors that is about all of the improvement you can expect out of your engine. Good luck in the mileage wars your mileage may vary.

3x the cost of Hot Shot's Secret EDT, hard pill to swallow. Ran 165k miles and decided to change out my CP4. Pulled it apart and it looked brand new. Confident it had another 100k at least w/ Hot Shot's Secret EDT at every fill up

I bought a 2015 F350 6.7 2 years ago with 71,000 miles and now have just turned 100k. Use archoil every fill up and injector cleaner every 5000 miles runs perfect

Love how you’ve came around brother!! That stuff made a difference in my 15’ 6.7 for sure! Definitely slowed down my regens!!

Old Bill was right!! I've been using Archoil in my oil and fuel for years in my 7.3, 6.0 & now 6.7. I also use Archoil in my Wife's VW Passat 2.0L TDI and she averages 50-60MPG a tank! Thanks PTT for the code!

12/11/23 Appreciate the video … I’ve been using Hotshots for a while now … it probably was doing a good job at lubricating the CP4 …. Nothing changed at all on mpg….. A friend of mine told me about Archoil …. I did the same package in video …. Been using it now for about 2 months … Have 60 gallon tank as well … that is definitely one of my best add ons to my 2015 6.7 F250 lol…. Anyway … Absolutely Love the Archoil ….. I’m on road a lot to Windrock from South Carolina … mpg went from 16.3 to 19.2 …. Using the Ar6300 for winter months and the Ar6500 other months …. It worked for me … it is a little higher but I’ll pay it. Thanks for the video.

Yeah I use it in my 2015 Drw and I’ve noticed a big difference in towing my 41’ fifth wheel .

Archoil makes my 6.0 run like new. Every fill up every oil change.

Thanks for your help with KYD. I have learned a ton in the last week. We live full time in the RV so now just trying to get connected with an Archoil delivery. Loosing the CP4 is next on the list. Thanks for your wisdom.

Hot Shots Diesel Extreme. This stuff actually works. I would say Archoil is on the same level.

I use the archoil oil additive with every oil change in my 6.0, and also the fuel treatment in the tank. Big fan. It's the only brand I use for the 6.0

Been running OptiLube XL and my CP4 is at 158k miles now. I intend on adding the disaster prevention kit, but when I considered changing it was to XL4 Lubricity, and I was discouraged across multiple sites, studies, and forums from using products with alcohol in them. Stuck with XL and the engine SEEMS to be fine. I'm not a diesel tech though.

I used Archoil every fuel up for years. Switched to HSS about a year ago. The cost is so much less for the HSS. I will say however .....I think the Archoil did get better fuel mileage....Maybe????

I swotched from hotshots to archoil and Ive noticed the motor seems to run smoother and I get better MPG's. Worth the extra cost and wait to me. Doesn't take to long for it to ship.

After having a CP4 failure at 71k miles I tried a couple different additives. 1st dose tried Archoil then Hotshot. I noticed and improvement in both. However, the most noticeable was with Archoil especially when towing. I’ve also noticed fewer regens. I know it’s more pricey but I feel it’s worth it.

I have been using Hotshots .just started trying archoil 6500 in my fuel tank. I am seeing a rise in fuel economy about 1-1.5 mpg. Running the performance dose. Seems to run great but it did on hotshots as well.

I’ll keep running hotshots. Use the edt and lx4 every tank and every oil change it gets a diesel extreme dose. Every other oil change it gets fr3 and stiction eliminator. Can’t go wrong. Hotshot had the best lubricity testing so I’ll keep it up.

I have used the Archoil oil additive every oil change on my 6.0 since I got it. Was using the fuel additive. Hubby had me change to Motorcraft Cetane Booster. Have seen a better economy with the Motorcraft vs the Archoil

My old 7.3 (210k miles) was smoking pretty bad. It probably needs new injectors. I put some of this in and the smoke went away almost instantly. Gonna miss you Bill!! 😢

I’ve used Archoil for years. They also make an oil treatment that is very good. If you use both it will cut regens by almost half.

DPF cleaner, can't tell helps. Maybe? But on fuel additive, Stanadyne Performance. It cleans, lubricates, adds cetane and, helps prevent gelling. Best product ever used.

Looks like you are taking over for Bill. RIP Bill

Project farm. Hotshots vs arch oil. I watched his hot shots ant gel vid. I was an avid howes guy, after that see ya hot shots all day. The lubricity test was all I needed and cold flow.

I run it in my 2020 6.7 Cummins. Both products. Work great. I have noticed that you get better fuel mileage with arch oil vs Hot shots.

Archoil hands down is the best additive fuel cleaner, fuel additive, and the friction modifier. Great results in my 6.7

I'm a HotShots Hound...!!!!...Next purchase will try Archoil...!!!

I've run Power Servise (Silver) in all my diesels since, forever...LOL. The cost of the Archoil is pretty close to the PS so I'm gonna give it a try...Thanks for the 10% off too ARod!

I had been using Hot Shots EDT in my ‘21 F250 since about new. I decided to try Archoil to see if there was any difference. I first ran a tank of cleaner then went to the additive. Probably about 3 tanks in using the Power Dose and I went from 16.7 to 16.5. Not a huge loss in gas mileage, but not the 10% increase claimed. I will say that the engine does seem to run much smoother using the Archoil.

I've tried Hotshot's and Archoil. Archoil is definitely worth the price difference, noticeable difference vs Hotshot's.

I have purchased the BEM caps several years ago. I really like their design. Also I like the added security of someone tampering with your fuel system. It's bad enough getting quality fuel these days anyway. I have been using the Amsoil products in my fuel since the purchase of my 2019 6.7 dually.

I've been using it since back in the day when Bill Hewitt recommended it. Now that you recommend it, just solidifies that. I use they're injector cleaner, fuel and oil additive (in hopes it will make my 2012 turbo last a little longer).

Great product been using it since it first became available 😮

Hey ARod. I've used both Archoil and Stanadyne Performance additive at every fill-up on my 2020 6.7. I started with and mostly stuck with Stanadyne until about a year ago when I tried Archoil after watching some of Bill's videos on it. I agree and think it did improve my mileage a little and did feel like it affected/extended the regen. It is hard to say for sure but I honestly believe I noticed a slight improvement and I was running the minimum mixture not the Power Boost. I need to order some more so will used your code.

I Ran Archoil in my 7.3L with good results. Obviously didn't have to worry about regen frequency or CP4 on it though. Now that I have a 6.7L though, I am running Opti-lube due to a deal I got. But I plan on trying the Archoil in the 6.7L soon. Especially the cleaner.

I’ve used Archoil in my 6.7 for years now and I don’t notice a difference in fuel economy. But I am at 5,000 feet in elevation so that might be the case. Nevertheless I don’t fuel up without it.

PIcked up both of these before my last trip. So far, so good. Getting slightly better mpg. Previously running Hot Shot.

On my new 2023 AlumaDuty 450 HO 6.7 I have 470 miles and my filter reads 70 %....So I'm happy as of now ..!!!!

Arod been running both Archoil treatments for over a year on my 2019 geting 18.2 mpg stock factory setup.. Good stuff

Guess when my HotShots is used up I'll give this a try.

Been using Lucas upper cylinder lube in my 6.7 in every tank.

Once I use up my Hotshots, I'll give Archoil a try again. I use to run it in my 7.3 and tractor and it seemed good to me. Don't know why I stopped using it...

The best additive in the game 💯

Always ran an additive every fill up in my diesel trucks

I'll have to give it a try, I've been running hot shots for 80k miles

Not concerned about that foil falling into the tank? I always removed the foil so there's no chance of that

RIP Bill.

I use Archoil ar6200 in my 6.7 high output Tremor. Awesome stuff

Best way to cut down on regen is to do surgery on the def system

I've been running Archoil for two months, I have seen a reduction in the amount of regens with it.

I just did 9100 in my oil. Full amsoil change. 6400-d in about 44 gallons. I was full. And 4.0 Oz of 6500 In my 05 ex, 6.0. Immediately, immediately noticed smoother idle and way nicer cold start. Perhaps my injectors were sticking a bit. Hoping the effects are long lasting. How about the fuel system cleaner I have a set of fuel filters here. Should I change them now or after this tank??

Do the fuel passes the valves on your car, if not, maybe you should buy valve cleaning spray that you spray into the intake of the engine If the valves have become really dirty. Note for diesel

Hello yes I use the stuff every fill up. Works great 👍 Enjoy doing your thing. Have fun. Jeff sc

Hey man I been using the arch oil for five years I been using the kit it's for the oil and fuel I have a 2014 F250 I like it very much 😅

OK...about to start using Archoil in 2022 F350 diesel for the first time. Was going to add power boost dose (double dose first time). But can I also add the Diesel Fuel System Cleaner at the same time with the double dose? Have a full tank and ready to go. Thx

Great stuff i use all of these products! ARod keep the great videos coming! Your the best dude!!

Just purchased this based on your recommendation!!

You got me on Hot Shots and I’m not changing lol

Did you say you saw 1mpg gain? On one tank? I can see that with taking a different route to work. Doing 60 not 71mph. I think you need a better comparison, do it without for 10,000 and with for 10,000 miles. Less likely to go be the same.

Which one would you recommend? Genuine Ford Accessories (PM-22-A) ULSD Compliant Cetane Booster and Performance Improver OR Archoil AR6500 Diesel Treatment

I tried both the pre treatment and then the Archoil at each fill up. I didn’t notice any difference in regens or MPG. I went back to Hotshots I would really like to know with is the better additive

What are your thoughts on running a fuel additive during a break in period? Ford says not to use them in the first 1000 miles cause the added lubricity can keep the rings from seating properly but I’ve heard it said that your rings are not really seated until 15k miles or more. My 6.7 PSD is at 3k miles. When do you think is a good time to start giving her the juice?

I’ve been using the hotshot LX4 and the EDTwith every fill up. So far so good

I will. I am looking into a custom Diesel Ranger.

I’m excited for the HD 6.0 to come to the channel ❤

Nice you can give your opinion on things now 👍

Kind of funny you posted this.. Have been thinking about asking you about this stuff for awhile now..

Amsoil and Hotshots beat that juice in ASTM testing. There is a reason Banks Corp flys a Amsoil banner. Your fuel economy is up because of the winter blend and any cetane booze helps that and soot but people concerned about a CP4 should be most worried about an additives ability to prevent wear scar. That where the ASTM tests prove out the results

Best stuff for 7.3s and 6.0s!

Arch oil fuel system cleaner is amazing

Been getting my additives from Industrial Injection.

2010 Ford F-250 super duty 6.? L power stroke what additive to use for engine protection, cleaning and milage. Thanks

At 1oz per 10 gallons I have seen no difference in my 3.0L Powerstroke through one bottle of treatment. I will try 2oz for the second bottle and see how that goes.

I ordered both today. I have a 2017 F350 75k miles, and the 60 gal S&B. I have never used any fuel additives or cleaner. Can I use both the Fuel System Cleaner and the Treatment at the same time. or should I use the cleaner, and burn through most of the tank and then start using the Treatment on my next tank? Is it all right to use the System cleaner in 55 gal of fuel or should I use some of my fuel up first so that the cleaner is diluted less?

Mechanics have the cleanest hands nowadays 🤔😉

My milage drops when using 15w40 compared to 5w40. 1-2 mpg ,2020 F250 6.7 140k miles change oil every 7500. This stuff is interesting though

I use arch oil in my 7.3&6.0

i've been running power service white bottle but i'm curious about this archoil. i don't get anywhere near 500 miles per regen, more like 200-300.

May give it a try in my GM 3.0L Duramax.

You mentioned you are running the 60 gallon tank do you have any trouble when filling up. Meaning is it slow fill. Looking at putting one on my 23 SD also going to start running the arcoil thanks for all the helpful information

I did purchased this additive for my 2012 6.7L. Thanks. What is your thoughts on Bio Diesel?

I used Archoil products on my former F250 6.7, peace of mind.

Have you used the Schaffers's Carbon Treat??? I wanted your input on it... I use it (Schaffer's) 2 oz. and Rev-X Distance + Gold 1 oz. per 25 gallons... Thanks

Just ordered some. Thanks for the code

There are additives that claim to raise the cetane content by 10 numbers which I understood as eg the VP racing product should also be available in the USA. Then there is Cetane-X (Diesel Booster Don’t know if it is available in the USA but is available on Amazon India. Then there is NF Diesel boost. It is probably not available in the USA?

Should I use both at once or in separate tanks of fuel?

Watcha gonna run in the winter? Asking for us Northern duty owners. ;-) Does Archoil make an anti-gel lubricity product?

If a fuel pump failiure occurs,,, don’t techs like you pull fuel from the tank to get analysed and states clearly in the manual no additives, cause for warranty to be voided?

That Astro van though.

I read a TSB through Ford that said that the 6.7L super dutie platforms will regen every 500 miles regardless. Is this true?

Been rocking the hot shots from the day I picked up my truck in June. Bast off some of your content and others. (But definitely going to give this a whirl) On another note when would you recommend moving to the winter version? Would love a video on what temps start to goo the fuel up. I have already had a few mornings around 8-10°F Thanks for you time. And stoked you made it to sema

Archoil is probably great but to expensive compared to edt and edt is available at local parts store. Archoil not as available.

Hey Bud, what about the freezing weather anti gel? Do they figure that into the product?

Any benefit to using this in my JD Compact tractor? (1.3L 3cyl Yanmar)

not a Ford question but, I have a 94 dodge with a ppump what fuel additive would you suggest?

Shouldn't gas stations or petrol companies state the cetane content on the product sheet for the product. then there are additives that claim to raise the cetane content by 10 numbers which I understood as eg the VP racing product should also be available in the USA. Then there is Cetane-X (Diesel Booster Don’t know if it is available in the USA but is available on Amazon India. Then there is NF Diesel boost. It is probably not available in the USA?

I tried PTT and they said it did not apply to the two archoil products you showed.

Anyone have experience with Archoil OIL additive in their 6.7 powerstroke? Was thinking about using it to quiet down the typewriter tick after an oil change. Beyond annoying!!!

Been waiting for this vid to drop. So, Archoil is better thane HSS EDT? Been using EDT last couple years in my 17 F350 daily ride, but had great success with Archoil in my prior 06 6.0 psd. May switch fuel and oil solutions to Archoil for my 6.7 now. Thanks ARod...
