Ok, here goes...this is my first UOA. Doesn't look bad I would say. Any comments on the Moly/Boron/Calcium? Are these usual for this oil? Although this UOA is for Durablend, I replaced it with M1 5W30 for the upcoming Chicago winter. I plan to keep it there until April.
2000 Dodge Dakota 4x2
4.7L V8
total unit miles: 82800
miles on oil: 4000
time on oil: 5 months
oil type: Valvoline Durablend 5W30
This truck is typically driven on short trips around town, with a highway trip every 2 months or so. This time around was spring/summer, so no cold weather.
