BlackStone report.
This is the first OA done on this truck. This is with the Motorcraft oil filter. I changed out the Motorcraft to Shell Rotella 15W40 and amsoil oil filter.
Truck was used for daily driving empty and a few trips towing 11,000lbs. One such trip was 4,200 miles driving 65-80mph.

“The oil's viscosity was a little low for a 15W/40, but that's not hurting anything. These engines can
run just fine on a slightly low viscosity. Universal averages show typical wear metals for an oil from this type
of engine after about 5,200 miles run on the oil. Your oil was in use longer than that, yet we found all wear at
around average levels and in the correct balance to show normal mechanical parts inside. Air and oil
filtration appear normal (see silicon and insolubles). No moisture, fuel, or antifreeze found. Try going 9,000
miles next sample. The engine can take it!”
