a guy with diesel on a diesel website I frequent posted his analysis #'s and asked if his motor is on it's last leg. I posted and redirected him here, you guys are smarter than me
anyway, here's his #'s. What do you think? He didn't mention what kind of oil he runs. First sample, if I read it right, was taken after 5000 miles on oil, 2nd one at 12k miles same oil. 3rd sample was on new oil after 6k miles. Truck is 1991 CC dualley w/7.3,ats non wastegated turbo.
