I have not done many UOA's, but thought I'd do one since my truck is getting up in age, and I wanted to try to spot any lurking problems. My plan for this truck is to keep it another 30K, which is about a year and a half. It's had a steady diet of PP 5w30 it's whole life, and 7.5K OCI's.
As the comments point out, lead is a bit troubling. I know it would be much easier if I had more data to trend with, but I'd be curious as to opinions. There was no hard use, as the comments mentioned, it was primarily highway driving. I think my current plan is to run another 7.5K and do another UOA. If it's high 2x in a row, maybe it's time to accelerate my plans to get a new vehicle. I guess I'll consult with you guys then if I get another high reading.
Any thoughts on the analysis, or my plan? Or should I be concerned now? The "watch out for odd noises" comment is a bit concerning....
Thanks!
