You've spent your hard earned money on the Ford Powerstroke Diesel option in one of the most popular and best engineered trucks there is, now don't you think you owe it to yourself to use the very best oil in it?  And don't let your local dealership service center tell you that you you have to use their brand of oil to "maintain your warranty". That is a false statement by the dealership. We often receive calls from customers that were told this by their servicing dealership. This practice is not authorized or condoned by the auto manufacturers, but the fact is it still goes on. 

How a servicing dealership can essentially tell a customer that they have to use a lower quality oil than AMSOIL to "maintain their warranty" is not only wrong but it is also illegal unless they provide it free of charge. There are Federal laws that protect you against this.  Please read our Warranty Laws You Need to Know section of this website to learn more.

My owners manual species 5W-20 or 0W-20 oil.  Do I really need to use 5W-20 oil?
 

   You certainly can use a 5W-20 or 0W-20 if you choose to, however you do not need to use a 5W-20 or 0W-20 oil. You do not have to use 5W-20 or 0W-20 to maintain your warranty, even though some dealership personnel may lead you to believe that you have to use a 5W-20 or 0W-20. Your warranty is still valid and has to be honored whether you choose to use a 5W-20, 0W-20 or another viscosity of oil, such as a 5W-30 0r 0W-30 for example. Once you know the facts and the Federal Magnusson Moss Act law you will be much better informed to protect your rights and use the type of oil you want to use.
 

One of the main reasons 5W-20 and 0W-20 was specified for your engine is to increase the CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) reported to the Federal Government.  CAFE is the combined average fuel economy of all of a vehicle manufacturers product line.  Minimum CAFE levels are specified by the Federal Government.  In order for a vehicle manufacturer to continue selling profitable large trucks and SUV's, which typically have poor fuel mileage ratings, as compared to smaller cars, and still meet mandated CAFE requirements, they must also sell enough of the smaller cars which have much better fuel economy ratings to offset the poor fuel economy ratings of the larger vehicles.  The change to a 5W-20 or 0W-20 oil will allow and an auto companies overall CAFE to increase by a very small amount, typically in the tenths of a mile per gallon range.  5W-20 or 0W-20 oil is a  lighter viscosity than a 5W-30 oil and therefore has less internal engine frictional losses, or less drag on the crankshaft, pistons and valvetrain, which in turn promotes increased fuel economy.  This increased fuel economy is virtually undetectable to the average motorist without the use of specialized engine monitoring and testing equipment under strictly controlled test track driving  when compared to a 5W-30, 10W-30 or a 0W-30 viscosity motor oil.
 
Note that Daimler Chrysler Vehicles with the MDI System Specify 5W-20 or 0W-20 and that is what we recommend for these vehicles however there are customers using AMSOIL Series 2000 0W-30 Severe Service in this application with excellent results.

Could using a 5W-30, 10W-30, 0W-30 or 10W-40 oil in my vehicle which specifies a 5W-20 or 0W-20 oil void my new car warranty?

 Absolutely not. Vehicle manufacturers only recommend using motor oils meeting certain viscosity grades and American Petroleum Institute service requirements. Whether a motor oil is a 0W-20, 5W-20, 5W-30, 10W-30, 0W-30, 10W-40 or even a synthetic vs. a petroleum based oil will not affect warranty coverage. The manufacturer is required by Federal Law to cover all equipment failures it would normally cover as long as the oil meets API service requirements and specifications and was not the cause of failure.  In addition, the Federally mandated Magnuson - Moss Act states that a manufacturer may not require a specific brand or type of aftermarket product unless it is provided free of charge.  If your dealership continues to tell you that you must use 5W-20 or 0W-20 motor oil and or/ a specific brand of 5W-20 or 0W-20 motor oil, then ask them to put it in writing.  Their position is inaccurate, and, in fact violates existing law.*

Additionally, if there is ever a question of whether or not a particular motor oil was the cause of an engine failure make sure to get a sample of the used oil in a clean bottle, typically 6 oz. minimum. The oil can then be sent to  two independent testing labs for analysis.  This is standard procedure for most commercial vehicles, trucking, construction/excavation and fleet companies and there are numerous certified test labs all over the country.  Remember, a knowledgeable and informed consumer is your best defense against being taken advantage of by a car dealership service center.

*  Note:  If a car or truck dealership, service center or other business states that using AMSOIL motor oil in your vehicle will void your new car warranty, ask for that statement in writing and send it to AMSOIL  technical Services.  If the business won't provide the statement in writing send AMSOIL Technical Services a letter identifying who made the statement, the name and location of the business and what the statement was.  AMSOIL will then send  a letter to the business informing them that their position is inaccurate, and, in fact, violates existing law.  Your name will be held in confidence.

In a recent  Lubricants World Magazine interview the president of a major national quick lube chain (which is owned by a major petroleum oil company) states that if they can get customers to shorten their drain intervals by 100 miles it would mean an additional $20 million in revenue for the company per year and if they can get consumers to do one more oil change per year it would mean $294 million for the oil change alone and $441 million in revenue when they include ancillary products and services that go along with the oil change. In fact, the president of the quick lube chain openly admits that the bottom line is profits. The shorter the drain interval the more money the quick lube makes. It is our opinion that they would be more profitable by promoting and installing AMSOIL  extended drain interval synthetic motor oil . It appears that the short drain interval petroleum oils they promote are good at assuring that customers will be back for another oil change in a relatively short period of time.

Vehicle manufacturers only recommend using motor oils meeting certain viscosity grades and American Petroleum Institute service requirements. Whether a motor oil is a 0W-20, 5W-20, 5W-30, 10W-30, 0W-30, 10W-40 or even a synthetic vs. a petroleum based oil will not affect warranty coverage. The manufacturer is required by Federal Law to cover all equipment failures it would normally cover as long as the oil meets API service requirements and specifications and was not the cause of failure.  In addition, the Federally mandated Magnuson - Moss Act states that a manufacturer may not require a specific brand or type of aftermarket product unless it is provided free of charge.  If your dealership continues to tell you that you must use 5W-20 or 0W-20 motor oil and or/ a specific brand of 5W-20 or 0W-20 motor oil, then ask them to put it in writing.  Their position is inaccurate, and, in fact violates existing law.*

Take a look at the varnish deposits in this picture. These are the results of a severe high temperature deposit test.  The one at the far right is AMSOIL Synthetic 15W-40 Diesel oil and the others are major brand petroleum diesel oils. (left to right: Chevron Delo 400, Cummins Premium Blue, Shell Rotella T, AMSOIL (15W-40). The test clearly shows that AMSOIL keeps engines cleaner longer than other major brand diesel oils do. Which oil would you rather have protecting your engine?
 

We are here to help you learn the facts and show you how you can use AMSOIL motor oil and get a superior product and also increase the  performance and add to the longevity of your Ford Power Stroke Diesel plus save time and money. The Power Stroke Diesel is an excellent vehicle and exceptionally well engineered by Ford Motor Company and International.  In our opinion it is one of the best vehicles ever produced, however there are ways to make the performance and longevity even better with AMSOIL Synthetic Lubricants.

Synthetic Oil Proven to Prevent Turbocharger Bearing Seizure  

One of the many specific areas on a turbocharged engine, such as the Powerstroke Diesel  which can clearly benefit from the use of synthetic motor oil is the turbocharger.  When a turbocharged engine is shut off immediately after a high speed run, "heat soak" occurs from the engine, and it considerably increases the temperature in the turbocharger.  Over a period of time this can lead to deposits that can block the oil flow to the turbocharger bearings, leading to turbocharger seizure.  Synthetic engine oils that are inherently more thermally stable than petroleum engine oils have been shown to keep turbochargers considerably cleaner than petroleum engine oils.  A poor petroleum oil will give turbocharger seizure, caused by blocked oilways, in under 100 hours of a severe "heat soak" test cycle.  A good petroleum oil will survive for 100 hours but with considerable deposits and incipient blocking. A good synthetic oil will maintain the turbocharger in almost "as fitted" condition.  Read on to learn the many more ways in which your Powerstroke  Diesel/ Ford Diesel can benefit from synthetic oil.
 

I have an article of an AMSOIL user with 731,000 miles on his 1993 Ford Aerostar on the original engine and transmission. He was using AMSOIL from the beginning. This type of mileage is not uncommon when using AMSOIL synthetic lubricants.  Now, what do you think would happen it everybody used AMSOIL and got that much mileage on their vehicles? The auto companies like to hear reports of stuff like this on a small time basis but not on a large scale as it could have major negative economic implications.
 

Simply changing your oil more often with petroleum oil will not give you all the benefits that AMSOIL offers :  You will not get improved fuel economy, you will not get reduced engine wear, you will not get reduced operating temperatures, you will not get extended drain intervals and you will not save money in the long run.  Please, allow us to show you a better way. We are here to help you. You have everything to gain and absolutely nothing to lose.
 

AMSOIL has been in business since 1972 and was the first company in the world to develop an API (Automotive Petroleum Institute) rated synthetic lubricant for automotive applications.  They coined the phrase "extended drain intervals" 35 years ago and have been on the leading edge of technology and innovation ever since then. We have many satisfied customers using AMSOIL products in both their commercial, trucking, fleet as well as personal, family and recreational vehicles. We hope you will allow us to show you a proven better way.  We are here to help you and are at your service to assist you in your advanced technology lubrication and filtration needs.
 

Specifically for the Ford Powerstroke Diesel AMSOIL engineers and manufactures a 15W-40 Synthetic Heavy Duty Diesel Oil (as well as Series 3000 5W-30 Heavy Duty Diesel Synthetic) that when used in conjunction with the AMSOIL Eao-99 engine oil filter (7.3L) will allow you to travel 25,000 miles/1-year between filter changes and 25,000 miles/1-year between oil changes for normal duty service  If you use oil analysis you can usually go longer than 25,000 miles.  Other AMSOIL benefits include reduced sludge and deposit formation, extreme temperature protection, improved fuel efficiency and rust and corrosion prevention and it does not void any new vehicle warranty. AMSOIL Synthetic Lubricants meet and exceed all API rated and Ford specifications.
 
 

For 2007 and newer Power Stroke's with the 6.4L engine and Diesel Particulate Filters AMSOIL offers a 5W-40 Premium Protection Oil that is engineered to be changed as per manufactuer's recommendations, or longer with oil analysis testing.
 

The other option is to install an AMSOIL Dual Remote By-Pass Filtration System .  With this system you only change your oil when oil analysis indicates.  The AMSOIL Ea full flow filter is changed at 25,000 mile intervals and the by-pass filter is changed at approximately 25,000 miles for normal duty service.   The AMSOIL 15W-40 Synthetic Heavy Duty Oil  or the Series 3000 5W-30 HDD does not break down like conventional petroleum based motor oils, is much more shear stable and does not have the waxes, paraffins and by-products that come out of crude oil that is pumped from the earth.

The by-pass filter removes the particles that cause wear in your engine down to less than one micron (a micron equals 0.001 mm) and keeps the engine oil analytically clean so you do not need to change your oil for a long time, while still getting far better protection than someone that changes their oil every 3000 miles. We are experienced at installing these units on Powerstroke Diesels (and all vehicles) and can provide you with exact installation instructions, tips, bracket prints and photographs.

For example, one of the Powerstroke Diesels in our Dealer Group had over 87,000 miles on the same AMSOIL 15W-40 Synthetic Diesel Oil prior to changing to the AMSOIL Series 3000 5W-30 Heavy Duty Diesel Oil .  Laboratory oil chemical analysis every 15-20,000 miles indicates the oil is perfectly suitable for continued service. Other customers have traveled well over 100,000 miles and oil analysis still indicates no oil change necessary.  In addition, the AMSOIL By-Pass filter will also remove up to a pint of water from your vehicle's lubrication system, which is especially important in a diesel engine.  Without this the water promotes rust, corrosion and rapid wear. Internal engine heat also creates acids which also wear the engine components.  The water and acids build and continue to work destroying your engine even after engine shutdown.

 
Oil analysis provides a big return for your small investment by extending equipment life by preventing premature component failure, reducing maintenance costs by eliminating unnecessary component changes and a decrease in downtime due to premature scheduled maintenance as well enabling calculation of optimum drain intervals that will reduce lubricant costs and assure maximum equipment protection.

Your regular full flow engine oil filter will only remove wear particles down to the 20-25 micron range.  The filter cannot remove finer particles because the oil must be filtered quickly while removing most of the particles present in the oil, except the particles below the 20 micron range.  A study completed by Federal Mogul Corp. analyzing over 7000 main and connecting rod bearings concluded that 60% of all engine wear occurs in the 5-20 micron range.  This is why no matter how much you change your current full flow oil and filter, regardless of brand, that you still are not removing the particles that cause the greatest wear in your engine.
 

If you choose not to install the Dual Remote or Single By-Pass filtration system then the AMSOIL Ea Oil Filter would be of a significant benefit to the long term durability of your engine as well as allowing for 25,000 miles of service on the filter and 25,000 miles/1-year on the oil.
 

Ea Oil Filters feature advanced full synthetic nanofiber technology, making them the highest efficiency filters that are available for the auto/light truck market. They have an absolute efficiency rating of 98.7% at 15 microns and 50% at 7 microns.
 

6.0 L Powerstroke Powercore Air Filters, Fuel Filters and Super Duty Oil Filters

FFK-60

The AMSOIL FFK-60 Fuel Filter incorporates both a primary and secondary filter for maximum fuel cleanliness. The primary 10 micron filter, located in the Horizontal Fuel Conditioning Module (HFCM), performs initial fuel cleansing before sending the clean pressurized fuel to secondary four micron filter, mounted to the oil filter housing.

The secondary fuel filter includes a fuel pressure regulator and an orifice on top of the housing that bleeds air out of the housing and back to the fuel tank. Following its trip through the secondary filter, fuel is returned to the HFCM, where it is either directed to the tank or returned to the primary filter.
