Blackstone Labs; Antifreeze continues to wash out, seen in further potassium/sodium reduction, so it looks like
the new head gasket is holding up well. Wear metals are mostly consistent with last time, but iron jumped up a bit isn't suggestive
of excess steel wear at 14 ppm and it's still close enough to universal averages (9) to avoid a highlight. Maybe a change in
use explains it, like more idling this run. Fuel was found at 0.5% which is harmless and didn't thin the oil. TBN was 4.5
and the ISO oil cleanliness Code read 15/14/11, so another clean sample with remaining additive, Nicely done!

Note: excess gas found in oil is due to a leaky set of fuel injectors that is now remedied thanks to Trav and the
awesome job he did reconditioning them.
