Just got a new bipod, Elite Iron. Can rotate rifle relative to bipod, and stability is really good with the apex of the legs being above the barrel. Pricey, but figured I'd pass along if anyone is looking . . . Two pix, one from their website and one at range the other day.

I have many UOAs where nickel wear tracks moly content. For oils with a lot of moly (Mo), I get nickel (Ni) wear. For oils without moly, no nickel wear. Same engines. An example UOA set for an example engine is attached (have more just like this, so no comments on sample size please). Has...

2014 F250 6.7L PSD, 13.5K miles on Amsoil DEO Signature Series Max Duty 5w-40. 175K on engine. Donaldson filter this time. Sample #s 4, 5 & 6: Amsoil DEO SS 5w-40 Sample #s 2 & 3: Red Line 15w-40 Deleted 1K into #4. Interesting how iron tracks silicon. Switched it up and put Amsoil Diesel &...

Was lucky enough to get to watch planes working on takeoffs, landings, and touch & goes for a few hours last year off this carrier. Very cool! Carrier was like a bee hive. Cell phone pix ain't the best . . .

2014 F250 6.7L PSD, 10,070 miles on Amsoil DEO Signature Series Max Duty 5w-40. 161K on engine. Wix filter. Sample #s 1, 4 & 5: Amsoil DEO SS 5w-40 Sample #s 2 and 3: Red Line DEO 15w-40 Deleted 1K into #4. Looks like much improved wear numbers, and no fuel dilution, after delete. And oil...

Yamaha F300s. Marine application, 300 hp gas engines. Yamalube dino 10w30 this time. The previous three OCIs on these reports were Yamalube synthetic gold bottle 5w30. Did a couple things to try addressing fuel dilution before this OCI: (1) switched to 10w30 dino, and (2) had injectors...

Break-in data. First OCI at 500 miles, second at 3500 miles. Interesting that most Si from seals etc was out within first 500 miles.

Factory fill at 500 miles. 2018 Jeep Rubicon.

Anyone know if there is a beta difference between the wix 57151, versus the wix 57151 XP?

Thoughts? Vehicle is F250. Any chance these are TTY? Manual says replace, but I've already put the old ones back on. Does it really matter? Just wondering if I should order new ones and replace them? Thanks

9,000 miles on oil. 156,000 miles on vehicle

Had a pinion seal leak in my 2014 F250 6.7L. Upon recognizing the leak, when I opened the plug to top off the rear differential fluid a few weeks ago, foam came out. Pretty foamy. Assuming it foamed because rear differential fluid was low and it overheated when towing heavy? It was about 3/4...

Thoughts on whether I should be concerned about the oxidation? This was a 10,000 mile OCI. 5.0L engine, with 147K on it.

Two reports below that analyzed the same oil, Amsoil SS 5w40 from my F250 6.7L. In the Blackstone report, left column is Amsoil SS 5w40, far two right columns are Rotella T6 5w40, and the other column 1/28/18 is Red Line 15w40.
