Oil test data & my experience with Oil Extreme additive

[TrulyVintage]

I am on the road just about every day.

I drive an F350 CC Dually w/ a 7.3 PSD & a manual ZF five speed tranny - usually I am towing 10,000 pounds.

I have tried oil additives over the years along with several brands and oil weight combinations.

Recently I ran across independent oil testing data performed & published by an individual:

Although lengthy & arduous it was fascinating to read.

The oil additive that consistently seemed to have proven measured results was Oil Extreme:

@ http://www.oilextreme.com/oil1.html

I called & talked with the owner Dan - then ordered a 16 ounce bottle.

For my truck I chose this oil from the test data link above:


113. 5W40 MOBIL 1 TURBO DIESEL TRUCK synthetic, API CJ-4, CI-4 Plus, CI-4, CH-4 and ACEA E7 = 74,312 psi
zinc = 1211 ppm
phos = 1168 ppm
moly = 2 ppm

I have been running Mobil 1 synthetic oil filters since they came out a couple years ago.

My engine takes 15 quarts so I added the recommended 15 ounces.

Then I drove a few hundred miles ....

I noticed an immediate gain in horsepower - fuel economy - performance.

I will be adding Oil Extreme to my ZF manual transmission & my 4:10 rear differential.

Complete hogwash somebody move this to best oil thread. This is nothing more than snake oil for sale.

I had someone tell me that the additive that they used caused the idle on their 03 Audi raised by 300 RPM & that it lowered their RPM at 75 MPH. Unsuccessfully, I tried explaining that the idle is computer controlled & was probably due to a vacuum leak & that there was no way engine oil was going to alter final drive ratios.

GOFUNDYOURSELF, quit asking everyone to do it for you!


An air cooled VW will make you a hoarder.


Do something, anything, to your project every day, and you will eventually complete it.

I have been a Samba member for many years.

I did my own research on oil test data - found my way to an obscure additive,
posted a thread about my firsthand experience ...

I am not being compensated in any manner.

Just sharing my experience about a product that actually has performed
for me as advertised ...

Before I ordered - I called company (based in Wisconsin) and asked my
own questions about the product - I spoke with Dan the owner.

This stuff works ...

I stuff a couple of super beta prostate pills down the 1600's oil fill and it stopped leaking at night.

Not sure what your F350 has to do with aircooled VWs, but we have a dedicated oil topic you're welcome to post in.
