So my OLM went off on me this past week, and at first I got a bit concerned, since I am extending for the first time my oil change intervals. After chatting with members in the Bypass Filter section of the forum and how it relates to my OLM, I determined that my plan going forward will be to send an oil sample from my truck to my local laboratory ( AGAT ) and begin the process of managing my oil changes.
Which brings us to my first UOA:
2013 Ford F350 6.7l diesel with 4500kms on the oil. 5w40 Amsoil Signature Series Max-Duty Synthetic Diesel oil.
4500KM New OIl

I have the FS2500 bypass filter installed on my truck running for the past 4 months or so.. and I was questioning its actual effectiveness but it actually seems to be not too bad! I still don't like that my oil is pitch black.
