this report is for a 2006 Dodge w/a 5.9 Cummins --Blackstone comments:
with only 13500 miles on the engine, it's still pretty new and likely hasn't quite made it past break-in. That may explain the increased iron. The increase may also be due to hard driving or heavy towing and if thats the case,then this iron isn't realy a problem. Neither the slightly high viscosity nor the trace of fuel is a problem. The TBN read 6.9 so you have plenty of active additive remaining 1.0 is low. Suggest leaving this oil in for another 2,500-3,000 miles. We'll keep an eye on the iron and the fuel, other than that everything looks ok.
