I just clicked over 1K on my 23, I’m going to do my first at 2k and put Rotella 5-40 synthetic in it. I don’t trust dealership tech’s because I work at one and the horror stories are endless.
So how much oil did you actually use? I am finding that adding back 13 quarts is too much, or the dip stick is grabbing oil coming out of the tube making it look like it's got too much.
Thanks. That sounds about right. The last couple of times I have changed mine I added in 13 quarts and the dipstick was tough to read. I changed it again the other day and ended up adding around 12.5 quarts and that has me just under the nominal line.
@@rameylewis7730 I bought whatever was on sale lol. But the “Ford Diesel 6.7L Maintenance Care Tips” Letter (Page 2; Take Care of Your Fuel Injection System) states, “Diesel fuel quality is critical for reliable engine operation. Motorcraft® Cetane Booster & Performance Improver, PM-22-A (U.S.) / PM-22-B (Canada) can be added to improve fuel economy, starting ability and reduce engine wear.”
@@WeekendHobbyMechanic Thanks for your quick response. I've heard different people talk about using additives or not using them. That they're not needed and others saying they are a must!! I'll look more into it.
@@rameylewis7730 Never had a problem in 100's of thousands of miles just doing fuel filters @ 15k miles. But the internet hysteria has me using Archoil fuel additives....so far I haven't seen the MPG claims, but it's peace of mind.
hands down, the best ever….USMC/USAF Ret.

I think I used 12.5 quarts. You need to buy three jugs or 13 quarts.
Let the truck sit for a bit and then check your oil.

I have seen in 2022 they say the 6.7 takes 15qts of oil anyone ever find this to be true?
@@Cobes_347No, the 17-22’s take 13 quarts. The 23+ take 15 quarts.
What is the size of your socket for the filter ?Where did you buy it ?
Bought it at Napa. Ask to fit a F250 6.7L.
how often are the fuel filters changed; i have read the fuel filters are critical to keeping fuel pump from exploding; at least on the older 6.7.
Every 15000miles. Add diesel conditioner every time you fill up . That will save your pump.
@@WeekendHobbyMechanic what kind of diesel conditioner do you use?

is that a plastic transmission oil pan???
The earlier 6.7-s were plastic, but mine is steel.
@@WeekendHobbyMechanic Just checked, the 23's are back to plastic
@user-kg4lb4fh4y
You got a unicorn...my '22, '23, and '24 are steel....as was my '12 and '19.
