FORD POWER STROKE AMSOIL PRODUCT
RECOMMENDATIONS(6.0L, 6.4L,
7.3L)
The 6.0L Power Stroke uses
a canister element oil filter on top of the
engine. The AMSOIL Absolute Efficiency
Synthetic Oil Filter for the 6.0 PSD is Part
#EAO-88. The 1994-2003 7.3L Power Stroke Oil
Filter Part # is EAO-99. and have a change
interval specification of 25,000-miles/1-year.
No other company has an oil filter that has
these specifications except AMSOIL. When using
the AMSOIL 15W-40 Synthetic Heavy Duty Diesel
oil or the Series 3000 5W-30 Heavy Duty Diesel
oil, the oil filter element must be changed at
25,000-miles/1-year. The specification on the
oil is 25,000-miles/1-year, or longer with oil
analysis testing. More detailed information on
the differences between the two oils can be
read here.
6.4L
Power Stroke engines have an EGR system and
Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) on the exhaust
system and must use the AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-40
Premium API CJ-4 Diesel Oil, product code
DEO.
This is the only choice due to the DPF. The
change interval is recommended for the longest
service interval established by the engine,
vehicle or equipment manufacturer. Drain
intervals may be extended based on oil
analysis.
Note: As time goes by and we gather oil
analysis data on the 6.4L with the DPF the
5W-40 may possibly be specified for longer
intervals (25,000 miles/1-year) like the 6.0L
& 7.3L are, however it is too new to have
any significant oil analysis field data. Right
now the only way to use it beyond Ford specs is
to perform oil analysis testing, preferably in
conjunction with by-pass filtration. I have
photos of the by-pass system on both 6.0 and
6.4L engines, they both have similar
mounting.

oil filtration we offer an AMSOIL by-pass
system specifically for the 6.0 Power
Stroke. The AMSOIL by-pass system is a
superior filtration system that utilizes
advanced filtration technology to provide your
engine with a continuous, contaminate free flow
of lube oil:
Parts Required: - AMSOIL
Aluminum Billet Oil Filter Cap (part #
BK-1101)
- Aluminum Billet Oil Fill Cap
(part # BK-1102)
- BP-242 90 Degree JIC Elbows (4
reqd.)
- One BMK-11 Single Remote
By-Pass System
- One EABP-100 By-Pass
Filter
- Note that bracket fabrication
is necessary as well as the purchase of extra
hydraulic line. Please contact me for more
specific information and
ordering.
AMSOIL also offers an
FFK60 fuel filter
element for the 6.0 Power
Stroke
AMSOIL offers the
Donaldson Severe Duty
PowerCore Air Filter Part #P603577 for
the 6.0 Power Stroke. The AMSOIL/Donaldson
PowerCore Air box has over 80 patents and
utilizes technology that no other company
has and achieves a 99.98%+ efficiency

Transmission Fluid
The 5-speed Torqshift automatic
transmission uses the AMSOIL Universal ATF
which is recommended for the Ford SP
specification. The change interval
specification is 100,000 miles under normal
service or 50,000 miles for severe
service.

Gear/Differential Fluids
The front and rear
differentials use the AMSOIL Severe Gear
75W-140 Gear Lube. No friction modifier
is required. AMSOIL does offer a friction
modifier called Slip Lock in the rare event
that a limited slip differential develops
chatter on turns.
75W-90 gear lube is
recommended by many other manufacturers because
it is more fuel efficient than a 75W-140. Ford
uses a 75W-140 synthetic gear lube in the rear
axles of all production trucks. Chevy prefers
75W-90 mainly due to fuel economy concerns for
CAFE. I personally recommend the AMSOIL Severe
Gear 75W-140 because during extensive severe
durability testing performed by Ford and Dana,
the 75W-140 outperformed the 75W-90. That does
not mean the 75W-90 is not good to use, just
that the 75W-140 is better under certain severe
conditions. Most front differentials
recommend 75W-90 or 80W-90 because the front
axle is typically not used very much so they
can get by with a lower cost oil. You do not
need AMSOIL Slip Lock friction modifier unless
you hear chatter on turns, which only happens
in a very small percentage of applications. In
some rare cases, if you do hear chatter on
turns, then you will need to install a bottle
of AMSOIL's Slip-Lock Differential Additive.
Its convenient flip-top dispenser provides
quick and easy application to the gear housing.
One four-ounce bottle of Slip-Lock treats
differential capacities of two to four
quarts.

AMSOIL
Diesel Concentrate Performance Fuel
Additive
AMSOIL Diesel Concentrate
(ADF) provides maximum diesel operating
efficiency. It compensates for the variances in
quality of different fuels (including
biodiesel) and the deficiencies of today’s
Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel fuel (ULSD) for better
engine operation. New engine technology,
tighter tolerances and emissions regulations
require high quality diesel fuel for long-term
engine operatibility. AMSOIL Diesel Concentrate
improves diesel fuel quality to exceed today’s
stringent performance requirements. AMSOIL
Diesel Concentrate extends equipment life,
lowers operating costs and improves diesel
performance. AMSOIL Diesel Concentrate provides
the following benefits:
-
Improves
Fuel Economy and Restores
Horsepower
-
Lubricates
Fuel Pump and Injectors: ULSD has
significantly reduced lubricity – a
critical property in controlling wear
in fuel pumps and injectors. AMSOIL
Diesel Concentrate adds back in all the
lubricity properties needed and
more.
-
Reduces
Cylinder wear. Retains Engine Oil TBN
Longer
-
Minimizes
Soot Loading
-
Stabilizes

-
Improves
Water Tolerance
Use one ounce of AMSOIL
Diesel Concentrate to five gallons of fuel.
High fuel prices are
increasing operating costs for everyone. AMSOIL
Diesel Concentrate has proven in industry
standard tests to improve fuel economy in used
diesel engines by up to five percent. At $3.00
per gallon for diesel fuel, even a modest three
percent improvement in fuel economy equals a
savings of $0.09 per gallon. With a treat rate
of one oz. of AMSOIL Diesel Concentrate to five
gallons of fuel, at U.S. Preferred
Customer/Dealer prices the net treat cost of
AMSOIL ADF is $0.06 per gallon, bringing the
total savings to $0.03 per gallon and negating
the cost of AMSOIL Diesel Concentrate
altogether.

Combining AMSOIL Diesel
Concentrate with a cold flow improvement
property is not cost effective in the summer
months, or to AMSOIL customers who live in the
south. To keep costs down for Dealers and
customers, AMSOIL Diesel Concentrate no longer
includes a cold flow improver. Instead, AMSOIL
provides new AMSOIL Diesel Cold Flow Improver
(DFF) for low-temperature applications below
40°F. Recommended mix ratio is one ounce of
additive per five gallons of fuel. AMSOIL
Cetane Boost will raise cetane levels up to 7
points for improved performance and fuel
economy.

Injen/AMSOIL Diesel Air Intake Systems (Ford
F-250, F-350, F-450)
AMSOIL now offers the Injen/AMSOIL Power-Flow
Diesel Air Intake series with revolutionary
Variable Induction Technology. The new VI
Technology process is a multi-power air
induction system that fills the plenum with
air, giving added power on demand. The Power
Box on the Diesel series is manufactured using
a composite mix of glass-filled nylon and
polypropylene designed for noticeably quiet
operation. The Power Box was designed for
advanced cooling efficiency and the ability to
resist high temperatures. It will not distort,
unlike other plastic components that lose their
structural integrity over time. This
ground-breaking material makes it possible for
the integration of a built-in velocity stack
that streamlines the air turbulence into the
plenum air chamber by way of the multi-power
induction system. Injen/AMSOIL Diesel Air
Intake Systems are manufactured with aerospace
alloy T6 aluminum, stainless steel clamps and
tig-welded ports and brackets. They are
dyno-tuned for peak performance and have a
direct bolt in application, making installation
quick and easy.
Amsoil/Injen Aftermarket Air
Intake System
Air-Intake System
Design
Cold air intake systems serve several important
functions. Primarily, they are used to increase
the amount of oxygen available to the engine,
increasing power. Because cool air has greater
density than hot air, aftermarket intakes
improve combustion of fuel by capturing cooler
air from outside the engine compartment. In
addition, an aftermarket air intake system
increases the diameter of the intake as
compared to the original equipment, increasing
air flow into the engine and making more oxygen
available during the combustion process. For
further information please visit the
Injen/Amsoil
Air-Intake Systems page.

system and need a replacement filter element?
