Thanks! Thats what I was thinking. I will just let it be. Thanks! Just for grins I changed over to Mobil Delvac 1300 15/40 for this OCI. Will be interesting to see the differences.

Hey there! I tried a searchand really didn't come up with a whole lot. Although there was some good info on another site that was helpful. My last oil sample I sent in had sodium come back at 21ppm. Its usually less than 10. But way back at 50,XXX miles I had one come back at 15 . It was NOT...

2007 Dodge cummins 5.9 68000 total miles. Oil was in the truck 2 months. Daily driver about 10 miles to work. Gets up to running temp by the time I shut down to and from work. On weekends it's my rodeo rig, pulls Large 3H living quarters horse trailer. 12-13,000 pounds. Aluminum 3 Chromium 0...

Hey there, sorry, here is the numbers from the report 79.0@SUS Viscosity 210'F Normal= 69-78 Cst Viscosity at 100'C is 15.27 Normal=12.7-15.3 This was a blackstone report.

Just got my oil report back and my viscosity was 79. The upper normal level is 78. 4,000 miles on the John Deere 15/14. The rest of the report was excellent with no insoluables found. They said it was no big deal. WHat controls the viscosity of oil? Why would it be a little higher this time? Thanks!

Oh, I have the 2007 5.9 cummins

I have a STOCK fuel system and have absolutely ZERO problems with fuel pressure. The 2 micron units usually last 10,000 miles and I change the Primary filter at 3-5,000 when I change the oil. My fuel pressure gauge located at the Inlet to the CP3 is always at 10-12 Psi which is plenty of...

Just picked up some fuel filters for my truck ( Running the CAT 2 micron for first time)and saw they have some CAT Ci4+ 15-40 oil. ANybody use it??? Looks like the good ol CI4+ stuff. They said they are going to keep it that way for a while. I am currently running John Deere +50 CI4 but they are...

UPDATE: Just got back my latest sample of oil. 0% fuel this time!!! I changed it scalding hot after a freeway drive. So the last one was a flook I guess!

I am having good success with it as well!

I am not real worried right now over the 1%. I am going to sample when I reach the same # of miles and just see where I am at. It is very possible that the sample was contaminated at the lab or something too. No need to worry unless it increases or something weird! LOL

Most of the VPB is now CJ but in some places you can find the good old CI4+ version called " Classic Blue" They don't allow it in CaliF

I guess it could go either waY but my bet is that if you don't get the truck to operating temps then the fuel is not burned off I guess. NORMALLY I change the oil HOT but this time it sat most of the day and all I did was start it, drive up on my ramps and shut down. I am not real worried and...

I think if the air restriction was high it would cause a load on the engine and more fuel would be pumped to maintain pwer etc?

Jim, I use the Fleetguard Stratopore Premium Filter. I could actually go probably another 5,000 on it, but I like to do changes more frequently.

UPDATE: I did write blackstone and asked for advice. They asked me if I had started the engine just prior to changing the oil, like 5 minutes or less and sure enough, it had sat all day and I started it to drive it up on the blocks, shut it off, pulled sample. It ran for maybe one minute before...

Yea, I used the JD 15/40 +50 CI4+ oil

OK, Here is the sample Results. 4,000 miles on the oil Aluminum 4 Chromium 0 Iron 9 ( Very low compared to my samples of Non JD oil) Copper 1 Lead 1 Tin 0 Moly 89 Nickel, Manganese, Silver, Titanium, Barium All 0 Potassium 2 Boron 92 Silicone 5 Sodium 4 Calcium 3665 Magnesium 15 Phosphrus 991...

The Engine was Warm I had taken it about 200 miles 4-5 hrs prior. I changed the air filter as it needed changing when I changed the oil this time. I will run it and take another sample when i change again. Thanks for the input. I know 1% isin't a real concern as of yet. I had a "Trace" a few...

My latest oil sample from blackstone showed 1% fuel in oil. They weren't real concerned and said that it was caused from idling or short trips in the truck. After thinking about it, I only work about 4 miles from my house and since summer began I have Idled it more if I had the dogs with me for...
