- Testing out Hot Shot's Secret Stiction Eliminator on our high mileage Ford PowerStroke Diesel. We ran it from 375k to 385k using it in 2 oil changes.
Find out if it made any difference.

Another huge plus is that it sounds like you somehow have an earlier Non-inductive heating flash on your FICM. The latest flashes cover stiction up and compensates for bad injectors to the point of failure. Don’t ever get your truck reflashed, enjoy the power and better fuel economy. 👍🏻
Huge difference. The "sound" is the sound of a diesel you wont get rid of that.
Your cold start without the additive soundded very choppy and a bunch of hard clacking.
After the additive it started smooth and no chop. Even sound
It seemed to smooth out the idle a bit. Unfortunately, in our case, the injectors were too far gone and had to be replaced. The truck has over 400k miles now and runs as good as she did new!
Nice honest review!
Thanks for watching!
I used the Stiction after 50k miles on my Ram Ecodeisel to clean it out. Changed the oil after 10k miles, which created a rear main seal and a valve cover leak. My guess, it cleaned out the crud that was covering the issue. Took it to the dealer, who covered the leaks under warranty! Looks like I timed it perfectly (totally by accident). Anyway, my advice is to use it just before your warranty is up so it can clean it out and expose any issues. Thank you! Not sure id use it now that my truck is out of warranty. The crud is sealing my motor.
As a mechanic that works regularly on ancient engines the crud sealing leaks on the inside of the engine is pure bs. Even on a engine that’s seen a lifetime of lead fuel. Lots of crud but it’s not sealing anything
@@hondaxl250k0would it hurt to throw this into my 1989 chev 305?
@@nouns7504 can’t hurt. But I don’t think it will do much but maybe help lifters and reduce ware
Is there such a thing as too many additives? I already put a zinc additive. Could even more additives alter the oil lubricity?
Most quality oil has enough additives. I would be afraid of mixing too many.
What diesel do you have? Older diesels need a zinc additive or a oil with a high level of Zinc/ZDDP and every diesel benefits from a diesel fuel additives. Only reason they stopped putting alot of zinc in todays low emmisions oils is because it damages the emissions equipment and zinc isnt good for environment. Old diesels need it. Once they made diesel into low sulfur it became less lubricated so a diesel fuel additive with a lubricant will help all diesels. Makes injectors last longer.
@@TeamTopKick 12 valve cummins baby. It needs ALL the zinc lol
Hotshot's Stiction Eliminator says NOT to mix it with other additives
Stiction has to do with the injectors. Nothing with the friction in the engine. Lol. The poppet valves in the injectors get stuck and don’t have time to open all the way, meaning it will run poorly until the oil heats up and thins out.
It works on not only injectors but anything the oil comes in contact with buddy. Turbo bearings, oil lines, etc.
You’re right. It is the build up of the cooked oil causing the injectors not to fire.
Right but in his case it would be spool valves. That's the difference between the 7.3 and 6.0 heui systems. 7.3 is poppet and 6.0 is spool. It's the same reason 7.3 are much more forgiving.
Austin Williams is correct, anywhere the oil may heat up and become burnt. The burnt oil will adhere itself to moving parts surface's. The product eliminates that from happening on a molecule level. Example, look in the valve cover before using it and then after about 12 or 14 treatment's, you will see the difference right before your very eyes
@@brandonfuhr5459 are you saying it cleans also
In my opinion this isn't really necessary if you do frequent oil changes what would be more beneficial is the Lucas oil stabilizer at high miles or something similar
NO.... Lucas oil stabilizer is a TERRIBLE idea for any diesel. Especially the Ford 6.0 PSD.
I use archoil for my 07 6.0, stuff works magic. Should try it out and compare the two.
Ended up having to replace some of the injectors, but will definitely have to look into it. Do you use it for preventative maintenance or just when it starts acting up?
@@HufflerGarage its archoil ar9100 friction modifier. I'm pretty sure you can use it as both, but don't quote me on that I'm no expert. I learned about it having a sticking injector and it works awesome. It's basically a bandaid if your at that point tho lol. I dump the whole bottle in when i change my oil and truck runs smoother, starts and idles way smoother.
I used the archoil and it didn't do any better on my 2002 7.3. #4 and #8 are still bad when cold but do okay when hot. I'm going to replace them this fall.
@LemonySnicket-EUC it only seemed to help when I first noticed I had an injector/s sticking. They eventually reached a point where I had to replace them because the truck would shudder and have low power when cold. I definitely noticed a difference using archoil in the early stages of them going bad though. Since then i put 205/30 Holders injectors in and they're awesome.
You must be toned off because I can hear a difference. I listened to the video before you added it And after you added it.. When you got home The morning and it was dark and you had to hook up I listened to what the engine sounded like compared to the 1st time you had to hook up and you can hear a big difference
yes
Nice fox shirt bro
Thanks 😁
@@HufflerGarage I have a 6.0 on an F-250, love this motor. I'm about to adjust the turbo for more boost.
Has that motor been studded
Yes. About 150k or so miles ago.
Based on instructions, I add 1/2 a bottle on my 7.3
That's what you do after the first use of 4oz per quart of oil. For maintenance they say to go to 2oz per quart of oil.
Are you still on Original injectors?
5 of them were replaced at 220,000 miles.
Lol went from short hair to long hair love it
Long hair don’t care 🤣
What idiot replaces 5 of six injectors ? This guy is not a mechanic and I would never allow him to raise the hood on my vehicle
@@fuzzyelm1 it’s not a cummins it has 8 injectors
Use synthetic mobil 1.
Any addictive is a good additive? No most additives are a waste of money dude.
HSS is a good product but this guy has no idea what he's talking about.
Not one thing on this video makes sense !
It’s the dumbest advertising I have ever seen ( ok not the worst but )
Long story short: this stuff doesn't work.
My engine ran better before I used this garbage
