Hey guys. Just wanted to share my last uoa. I hoping someone can help me out, not really sure what to do or whats going on with my 6.4. Truck is stock and runs great with no problem. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Shawn: Aluminum continued to increase in this latest report, although it's only up another 2 ppm compared to last time, so at least the rate of increase has slowed. This was the shortest oil run to date, however, so aluminum is still getting higher on a per-mile basis. The change to synthetic oil doesn't seem to have improved aluminum, although it may be the reason for the small amount of sodium that showed up this time. That's not a typical additive in diesel-use oil, but some types may have 10-15 ppm or so. If it's not additive, it may show antifreeze. Check back.
