I had this UOA run not so much to validate the oil or extended oil change, but to check the health of the engine. Having bought the truck early last summer, I had made up my mind that given the PSD 6.0 problems out there, if this one had antifreeze or excess fuel in the oil, it would be getting traded the next day. Seems like my results were pretty decent.
The oil was changed at the Ford dealership before I bought it and they had put in the standard Motorcraft 15w-40 Diesel oil and Motorcraft filter and changed the fuel filters and flushed the cooling system. I boost the Cetane on each tank of fuel and my original post can be found here:
Help me Choose an Oil
I had planned on sticking with a good Dino oil at this change. But, a friend of mine hooked me up with some free Amsoil, so we'll se how that goes for the next 7500 miles.
