Attention: TDR Forum Junkies Just got back my oil analysis from Fleetguard Monitor, somewhere in Indiana. For the comments they put: Check air induction systems (filters, housings, air intake, etc. ) for source of abrasives (dirt). Abrasives are at a SIGNIFICANT LEVEL. Iron 15; Copper 14; Lead 1; silicone 43; Sodium 5; Potasium 6; Maganese 1; Boron 125; Magnesium 859; calcium 415; phosphorus 830; Zinc 950. Fuel 0. 5; Soot <. 1; Water <. 1 That's it in a nutshell. Of course, I have new oil and filter in there, Fleetguard number LF3894 and oil 15W40 Valvoline Premium Blue. When this is changed I will have this analyzed also. I guess I should get to my dang question - Is the high iron content much to worry about or since I put on the Amsoil filter system maybe this will take care of the abrasives? Anybody feel free to weigh in. (GOD, I LOVE RED).
