I hope I get better wear numbers than that...

Your frankenblend oil worked better than the CJ-4...you should be in product development! If only you would have had some heavy towing in the OCI as well it would have been quite interesting.

 

[salesrep]

5k towing with this uoa.

 

[deeter16317]

Any idea about the elevated Fe?? All the numbers seem elevated as far as that goes...

I have better numbers with Rotella CJ-4 15w40...hope I'm not making a mistake going to Schaeffers...I'll be getting my 9000 5w40 order in under a week...

I think Salerep bought that truck used, Steve and sent a uoa in early after he got it. His uoa's are coming back down to normal...they were a little unsettling a short time ago, If I am not mistaken.

Really improving....but to be expected with so many highway miles in such short bursts. 10K+ per month.

I'd say they are unsettling...especially when you're committed to 6-gallons of the 9000!

I've got really low wear numbers compared to that (even towing). Hopefully I can continue the trend, even with a change in oil.

How is 25 iron and 5 lead on a 11k/40% towing uoa unsettling? Particularly considering where these uoa's started. If anything I'd say this sample is proving the additive package strength of this oil.

 

[deeter16317]

Considering I have a UOA showing similar numbers, towing the same weight/miles with CJ-4 Rotella (conventional), its not particularly comforting to me since I just bought 6 gallons of S9000.

I would have expected better than a conventional oil, but that's just me.

Perhaps this thread may shed some light. Check out Harley andersons post about 3/4 the way down.

[deeter16317]

That explains some! I responded to that thread...

 

[wjdell]

I think judging S9000 based on these UOA's is a injustice.

Show me 3 or 4 UOA's that are consistent with the same oil, and in a engine that has a history trend for comparison. I would be leery of what the effect is due to changing types and the addition of additives.

5100 mile drain. Shortened due to an oil pan issue. 1 qt of 9000 and 1 pint of 132 about half way. 1 qt. of Kendall 50w at about 4k.
I’d say this engine is coming along nicely.

What prompted you to add the Kendall 50 weight? Was it straight 50?

 

[salesrep]

An experiment to attempt to sludge the bottom of my oil pan.

[Harley Anderson]

Thats what a cummins report should look like. Glad everything is working for you.

 

[LateArrivalforLSU]

Mark,

When are you gonna patch up the pan?

 

[pickled]

Get out the flap disk and some fiber glass patch someone's got a hole to fill!
