Looks good to me. When you changed the oil, did the Oil Life Monitor say it was due?

This truck doesn't have what I would call an OLM, just comes up change oil, no percentage number. I don't keep track when I reset because you can't tell if it's reset unless the change oil light is on.

That is the oil life monitor. On some models, it shows a % remaining in the Driver Info Center, but on other models a "change oil" light simply appears when it's due. It's functionality is the same though.

They consider a TBN of 3.1 to be abnormal. As you know the boron is an additive.

What was in use on #2? It had a good dose of boron.
She must do some serious short trip usage. Over 8k in 8 months (if I'm reading it correctly). That's not far off of my wife's current pace of 15k with a 50 mile per day round trip commute.
