Iron is a taste high, but a good looking report. Look at that moly

I think you should feel comfortable running this out to 7k or so next drain.

What's the history? i.e.Which oils were used previously? If it's only been dino, maybe the Schaeffer's is cleaning up a bit.

 

[deerezilla]

all it's has up till 80,000miles is delo 400

It's not a bad UOA, but it's not an outstanding one either. I'd say it looks like a normal average UOA.

I should have added, without seeing the trend history using other oils, we don't know how this oil compared to the previous. This UOA could be outstanding compared to them.

Well thats sounds about like my luck I have never went over 3k on oil this is the first oil change I have ever let stay to 5k and I did drain it. if thats just a normal oil uoa then i'm going to go back to delo for this truck. My other equipment does do better with the 7000 15w40

try another schaeffer's interval...you may find the numbers will trend down.

x2. The Schaeffer's could just be cleaning out 80,000 mi worth of junk.
