My recent Blacksone Oil Analysis from my '14 RAM 3500 CTD w/385*850

[gsbrockman]

So, from the recent numbers can we presume the high metal numbers were from a break in period?

Not sure.....I wonder if the switch to the Donaldson DBL 7349 oil filters could have been a small factor as well?

Greg, do ya ever get a 12000 pound gross trailer weight trip to check your MPG ? Just wondering since that is probably what I will be pulling with my new 3500. Thanks... 18Dodger18

I'd be curious what another lab, like oaitesting, would say. Since you're paying for TBN with blackstone OAI would be cheaper too.

I've always been substantially less than impressed with Blackstone and their "averages" numbers, as well as complete lack of knowledge on the tech's part whenever I talk to them. They have their own standard for things, despite Cummins publishing oil analysis guidelines.

Is that the new CK Delo?

No.....but it has the new CK in it as of yesterday.

But heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.......I did get it in within the 6 months requirement. Ooooooooops.....almost forgot----I am outttttta warranty. :-laf

Yeah you're racking the miles up pretty darn quickly! 250 hours isn't too much for an oil change by any stretch thou.
