I like their comments ;> makes me feel like im taking care of it well when i work it like a dog ;>

Wear looks pretty good in the first sample from your F250. Iron was above average but if you
work this engine hard that would explain it. All other wear is average so we doubt that it shows a mechanical
problem but we'll be sure to keep an eye on it next time. Universal averages are based on an oil run of
~5,300 miles. The oil was in good shape physically, containing no moisture, fuel, or coolant. The air and oil
filters are working well too (see silicon and insolubles). The TBN read 8.5, plenty of active additive
remaining. A TBN of 1.0 is too low. Nice engine.

Like they said, iron is a little high, but fantastic otherwise. Go to Bob is the oil guy forums and read up on oil and oil reports. The high TBN means the oil can go much longer safely. You could probably go 10,000 miles on that oil. Calcium, phosphorus, zinc are good numbers so good oil choice whatever it was.

I just got my "kit" in the mail last week. I've got 5k on my current Rotella and I'd like to send it in and get results before I change my oil again. How long did it take from the time you sent in the sample to being in receipt of the report. Oh, and what oil do you run? I run the Rotella with wix filter...
