Blackstone's comments:
Silicon was high but this may be from sealers used when assembling the engine, which appear to be washing from the engine. Wear looks good and no fuel, coolant, or moisture was found. The TBN was a little stronger this time around with a reading of 4.4. At 24,074 miles, we have no problems to report.
