Used Oil Analysis numbers

[GaryCarter]

I don't see too many of these posted up yet for the 6. 7's, so I thought I would put mine out there. Chime in if you see any concerns. Numbers looked pretty good to me.

10k on truck.

4k on oil, 80% towing.

Mopar filter and whatever brand of bulk oil they were using. Had the oil changed at a dealer on the road.

I used the NAPA test kit which seems like a good value at only fifteen bucks for a test.



Thanks in advance for any comments.



Maybe one of you oil gurus out there can figure out what brand of oil they used. I didn't think to ask them. Not a big fan of bulk oil, but this seems to have performed well. Usually I change my own.

Maybe they fixed the fuel dilution in the later model years. Looking good!

Is that on a Cab and Chassis truck? You have the DEF system right? The pick-ups do not have it. Maybe with it there is less fuel dilution.

It's a pickup, no DEF.
