I do not know, I do know the 02's seem to have some problems that are more frequent, more cooling jet failures, more alternator failures and higher percentage of CPS failures. Just my observations. Pablo, thanks for the support. garyT

Update on UOA with Amsoil Remote Dual By Pass removed. My metals (especially Iron) continue to stay at normal or below rates. BLACKSTONE REPORT I also contacted the Amsoil dealer that I bought the unit from. Following is his partial response concerning BMK 16 problems and oil pressure issues...

Gary Allen: Thsi is very interesting to me also. Here is some more info; I put the Bypass on at 35,000 mi at about 40,000 miles I put in a set or real gauges HERE.Note that the oil press is at about 68 lbs., dead cold it would go to 70 +. I thought that high and others thought so also. With the...

Pablo: I have not spoken to Amsoil about this yet. I am still in the 'let's look at this" stage. The unit is actually still mounted on the truck but disconnected and sealed off. I really do not have a good explanation for why the dual remote over a straight by pass it except I did think the...

I am so sorry- I neglected to see that I cut off the top of the lab report which gave some engine info. Here you go: 2002 F250 7.3l PSD crew cab long bed. Occasionally I haul a 24 ft 5ver. I have slightly modded this engine with a 4' exhaust, large Donaldson air filter, ATS turbo compressor...

Ram in Texas: I had installed a dual remote unit Model BMK 16 Gary Allen: Why do you think that is a 'Fluke' ? I see a steady escalation in metals since I installed the By pass at 35,406 miles. You are quite observant, I had to double check. My first 2 reports are not listed but thy affect...

Why is that?? I had the same experience, Iron up after changing to Amsoil but now other metals are up- see HIGH METAL THREAD Thanks, garyT

That is the way I would lean although I took off compressor housing and there is no rubbing, play seems to be normal, boost OK but again turbo would be my 1st choice. If levels continue I think I will pull it off and rebuild. garyT

Thanks for all the replies. I am not sure what 'standard' bitog format is and I tried to post up the Blackstone report but I could not get it on. There was about 14,000 miles on this Amsoil syn Heavy Duty Diesel oil and 5,080 miles since 2nd last sample when both filters were changed, about 1/2...
