Oil Analysis for my 6.0

I used Blackstone Labs for my oil analysis. This was the first UOA for this truck. I am somewhat satisfied with how the truck is doing. The engine has 32,400 miles with 5,200 miles on the oil sample. Unfortunately, I was not able to resize it. If you click on the little bar it will get just big enough to read.

Here are the comments:
Quote:

ROB: You were interested in fuel dilution and engine wear. No fuel was found in the first sample from your Ford. All
wear metals, except lead from bearings, read right around the universal averages for the 6.0L PSD. Lead at 9 ppm
either is a sign of some extra bearing wear or it's due to a particle streak through one of them. We'll know more after
we see your next sample. Oil viscosity was normal. No moisture or coolant was present in the sample. Air and oil
filtration (see silicon & insolubles) were normal. Other than lead, everything looks great. Check back to monitor.

Would your oil be Schaeffer by any chance?

I used Motorcraft 15w-40 and a Fram (Motorcraft design) filter. The Blackstone analyisis was 22.50. Well worth the price.

Bismic, I know why you asked that. I have read that the Schaeffer's tend to show lead. I am now running 5w-40 Rotella. Two jugs are CI and two are CJ rated. We shall see....

On edit, I did have my rear main seal replaced so that may account for particles/wear in the temperal sense.

If it had been Schaeffers, the moly would have been higher than average, not lower....
