Official EcoDiesel Oil and Filter Recommendations

[Rusty PW]

Mine does about the same, every 800 miles or so. Must be happening due to a different trigger than SL because with my driving routine SL usually hovers between 25 and 40%. Passive regen alone doesn’t seem to take it below 20% even with extended interstate trips so my guess is the programming requires an active regen to flush below 10% after a max of so many miles and/or drive time.

After the regen. It drops to 9%. Then slowly raises to 40% and stays there until i get just over 700 miles. Then it will quickly raise to around 70~80%. Then do an active regen. Think the regens are based on mileage and minutes. My minutes are around 1,100.

What I experienced is that, it would active regen while idling down to 50% if it started above 50%. And, would also regen in idle down to 25% if started above 25%. It usually take about 4-5 mins idling.

1008 miles between regens, gde.

This last time. I got a lot more highway miles. Still hasn't regenned yet at over 1,000 miles. SL is holding in the 50's.

@Rusty PW how's that TDT holding up ? I've been looking into getting away from the QS , I have stp euro for my on deck , but thinking about the next batch tdt or motul.

I'm due for an oil change in about 2~3 weeks. I'll take a sample again and send it in.

I picked up some Hot Shots TBN Booster on clearance at Tractor Supply for cheap. Any thoughts on running it in our motors?

After watching Lake Speed's Youtube channel video about oil additives, I don't think I'd EVER consider running any oil additive ever again! It's linked in one of the posts in this thread.

I don't think it's necessary. If you do use it, I would stick to one dose about halfway between oil changes.

It's not needed. The engine oil in the gen 3 EcoDiesel will run out of viscosity before it runs out of TBN.

Any opinion on what oil the guys are running that have put their trucks on Jenny Craig? Or is it pretty much the same list?

The same oils are being used regardless of the trucks/Jeeps being stock or deleted.

I installed the F106N on my 2020 Ram EcoDiesel back when it was new. The drain plug is in a different location compared to my 2023 Jeep Gladiator EcoDiesel. I just looked under the Jeep and it appears that the F106N would work on the Gladiator. Any objections before I order one?

I installed the F106SX on mine....not sure what the difference is?

Did someone recommend the F106SX? If so, there could be two possibilities for the recommendation. One benefit of the SX is that the valve can swing out of danger when not in use (this would be for those who are off-roading and want to reduce the risk of making contact when going over obstacles). Or the extension was needed to clear the recessed drain pain design. I'm now wondering if there's not enough clearance to install the F106N due to the OE drain plug being recessed around the drain pan.
