Rev-X Testing

[Jackpine]

How does it work Bill? Any idea if it's a friction or viscosity modifier? I remember when I started using Mobile 1 in my old Mercury Marquis, that I got about a 2 mpg increase, but it had a much lower viscosity rating than the "standard oil" I'd been using. Now, of course, Ford's oil for gas engines is 5W20 as I recall, so there's not much you can do to improve on that.

And, any idea if Rev-X for gas engines is supposed to be as good as what you found for the diesel?

Jack beat me to it, same question.

Cool info

From what I understand from Dan, it is a combination of both friction modifiers and viscosity stabilizers. For obvious reasons, he wouldn't go into great detail about the chemical properties of the additive, but did explain that it contains many of the base compounds they USED to put in oils years ago and now no longer do to reduce costs.

That's all I really know about it. That, and it worked well for my 6.0L. Now to try it in the Expedition.

Please do! That will be of great interest to me.

Awesome. I have used and witnessed Rev-X in helping with stiction issues in 6.0 injectors on several vehicles. The 9HP peak gain and overall gain in general is what impressed me. Nice to see some solid testing and results completed. Great work Bill and the rest of the PHP gang.
