10K and resample. Great UOA though!
Very nice UOA. Schaeffer's uses sodium as part of their add pack, don't be worried by these levels.
What is sump capacity on that engine? Looks like you left a lot on the table there. seems you could double your oci but maybe pull a sample at 10,000 to see how it's doing (??) That is excellent report but oil was just getting "broke in"... Nice truck
I was assuming your warranty is gone with egr deleted. If you still have warranty then I think you should go with the olm. I thought you had larger sump, too. Sodium is detergent in some oils but not sure if thats the case in this oil. I would guess it is but...(?) It's showing up in other samples of same oil anyway.

Sodium
"This is most commonly used as a corrosion inhibitor additive, and occasionally can indicate a coolant leak into the oil. Concentration levels vary greatly depending on oil brand."
Taken from the UOA explanation on the BITOG homepage.

I wouldn't say my Warranty is "gone." There's ways around it.
Dealer can't prove if you have extended beyond factory OCI parameters if you reset your oil life to new, when it appears. Its not like we are neglecting are trucks.
I have used Scheaffer's 9000 5w-40 since 2,711 mi. This is the 1st OCI that I switched to T6 5W-40. Didn't want to bother ordering oil anymore, I am over that stage of my maintenance/oil addiction...lol

Interesting indeed as I think I already know what the results are going to be.

That oil load could have gone much further. Shame to dump expensive syns with so much life left.
Yeah Schaeffer's is awesome!
Great UOA and I agree I wish you would have stuck with it.
I myself run Schaeffer's 9000 5w40 in my 1997 7.3l and love it!
I also run their ATF and diff oil. hah There is a local vendor so I don't have to order it though...
A friend on the truck forum runs the 9000 5w40 in his 96 7.3 and has a 12 micron primary and a 4 micron bypass filter and takes it out to 15k!
If I recall correctly he takes analysis at 7500 and 12k and has always been told go further.
