Running Fleetguard stratapore with Delo 400 LE 15W-40 CJ4 on 8k mile changes or as close I can get it. Only thing that changed was the aluminum. Blackstone stated it could be from piston scuffing. I am wondering if the higher aluminum could be from messing around with the vacuum/ps pump coupler instead of scuffing. Any ideas?

The aluminum in 08 at 216,400 miles was 4, so it has gone up a little. Of course at that time I was at 6k mile intervals.
