Blackstone report comments

FWIW the comments from my Blackstone report. 257k on the motor at the report.

No real surprises here, since this is the same oil that we tested back in June, just with a lot more
miles on it. Since iron was a little on the high side to start with, and it's the one metal that should track with
time on the oil, this level isn't so bad. In fact, if we take away the 15 ppm of iron that were present at 100
miles on the oil (probably residual from a previous fill), then just 31 ppm of iron have accumulated in the last
7,316 miles -- not too bad at all. The trace of fuel isn't an issue, and neither is the low viscosity. The TBN is
okay at 6.2. Try 9,000 miles next oil.

What oil are you running? Any additional filtering?

The report was on Delo 400 LE 5w40 full synthetic. I use the Amzoil bypass filter setup. Since I changed the oil I may go to the 9k mark and see what they say. Currently at 260k still running the original injectors.

Trucks had synthetic all its life I'm guesseing
