I ran it last winter and helped along with running rotella syn 5-40. Now that its getting cold I'm getting a little stiction again so I ordered some more REVX for the cold weather...

It will not fix a bad injector, but hands down it will get rid of stiction issues. We ahve been selling it for nearly 2 years and it works great. Let me know if I can help.

I have let you know how you can me via pm ... Do you sell this stuff or not?

Dalpilot · Oct 18, 2011

Yes I do, just go to my website.

i bought some from tim and he's got a good price on it.

I've been meaning to order some. Is it 8 ounces every oil change or just the first time? I read somewhere that it was 8 ounces the first time you do it and 4 ounces every time after that.

strokin6L · Nov 21, 2011

i've always added 8oz's at every oil change.

I finially broke down and got some about a month ago when the weather started to change and my cold starts where a little rough. I changed oil and added it to my oil and to make a long story short- I'm a believer in it and will continue to use it. Good stuff made a difference in my 6.0

Rev-X works. It's the best damn snake oil out there.

windrunner408 · Nov 24, 2011

I guess I could see adding it in the winter months but right now my oil changes already cost about $180 for oil and filters and adding another $70 to that seems like the proverbial juice isnt really worth the squeeze for every oil change. It is already hard enough justifying the cost of Amsoil and then to raise the cost of the oil change by 40% seems almost too much IMO. I'm sure I sound just like someone who hasnt tried it, which is fine, but I am just trying to justify the cost vs benefits.

I did an oil change this last weekend with amsoil 5w-30 and tried the AR9100 instead of rev-x this time.

Let us know what you think of the AR9100, I've been debating tying it or not.

It was hard for me to swallow too.....but i did and noticed a difference in my truck almost right away.

Did/do you use fully synthetic oil?? I just dont know where the high cost is coming from for 8oz of this stuff. It is good to know that the stuff works for most folks but REALLY?? Your oil change price went up by atleast 40% and could be as high as 100% over what you are paying for your 15qts of oil. I could understand if the price was like half of what they charge for it but paying half again of what I pay already for oil just seems a little over the top. JMO.

Nevertheless, I am getting ready to go up to the North country here in a couple of weeks and I presume it will no doubt get pretty cold so I might score some and see if I notice a difference.

I am curious to know how Strokin6L's stuff works for him.

alwil · Nov 26, 2011

I use T-6 and 2 8 oz bottles is about the same as 2 jugs of oil lol. I do an oil change about once a month so one oil change I do fuel filters and the next one I do Rev-X.

Zmann · Nov 26, 2011

what interval does that put you at for oil changes?

If you mean what is my mileage I run between 6-7000 kilometers or 3750-4500 miles per month......its close enough to warrant one a month.

I don't know why it is priced where it is, but I can tell you the dealers aren't getting rich off of it either. That said it works very well. Remember you can extend your oil change in most cases double the mileage with an oil analysis at your normal range. With that it actually saves you money. Pouring perfectly good oil into the recycle barrel is like pouring money away.

windrunner408 · Nov 30, 2011

You are probably right. I really should do oil analysis. I would love to only have to change my oil every 9 months or so.

I am sure the dealers are not getting rich off of the revx either.
