2000 Ford Powerstroke 1st Report

[jjinco]

My truck has 95k miles and I had my oil tested for the first time (3218 on the oil). I run Rotella 5w/40 synthetic (1st time with syn) and have a Frantz bypass. The results were good but I was hoping for comments from some of you folks who are more knowledgeable than me. Thanks!

One other thing. I may or may not be interested in extended oil drains. I am thinking about it...

I think Blackstone summed it up well. Keep on truckin'! Did you have a particular question?

Wow, another good report from RTS. I'm considering using it.

Thanks for the replies. Sounds like my truck is doing fine.

The good ole days of when International made a good light/medium duty diesel engine.

Great looking UOA.

Yes, my 7.3 has been great. It runs as good as the day I bought it. I wish I could say the same for my transmission. Had to buy a new Ford reman a couple of months ago.

Your report looks great. I wouldn't worry about a thing, you could even extend your OCI a bit if you wanted.

Ford Reman 4R100, I'm sorry. I hope you had better luck with the Ford remans than I did at work. Keep all the records concerning that remain in case you have to talk to Ford about it again.
