I have spent hours looking for a current thread for a consensus on which motor oil for the 6.7 after Fords new oil spec and possible oil additives. Can anyone suggest such a thread?
Pardon me.

There are a couple oil threads for the 6.7. Just gotta find them.
Just get some lubrication engineers 5w40 from jimdawg185 on here and rock on. Its amazing stuff.

You hit on one of the main questions I have and the only reason I'm confused at present, tons of people saying the 5w40 is to thin to protect the journals because of oil shearing........which brings me to the question about additives...like Lucas or...whatever to protect against anything the 5w might cause....
Is it possible for an oil additive to not meet Fords new 6.7 spec, or cause the oil to not meet the spec?

The 5w part of the "5w40" ceases to be a factor after oil temps reach 70ish degrees...

Can confirm, he's awesome, I love his oil and he's great to deal with.

Dont use additives.. use a better oil. I dont know where there are tons of people saying its bad to use 5w40 being that it is a better option for these motors due to tighter tolerances. Unless they are using junk oil.

It's cheaper to buy the 8700 oil from Jim than the t6 is and it's a better oil.

8700 is 15w40
8854 is 5w40 and it works phenomenal in these newer motors!!

Search for jimdawg185 on here, or go down to the sponsors section, his company is elite lubrication specialists, or something to that effect.

Yes, spent over 2 hours trying to find a way to order this online, tons of videos of Jimdawg telling us why we should buy his oil, not a single place that said...
"click here" to buy it.....I give up
Rotella t6 will do...but thanks for the assistance

You can send him a private message also. He doesn't do online ordering. You call or message him.
