This is a friends ride, it is the Denali GMC with the 6.2l. He came to visit and I swapped out all the fluids front to back. I figured I would send in a sample of his engine oil. He has been running ASL from new and changed it out when the OLM got down to 5%. He also is running an AMSOIL air filter and EaO oil filter.
When I pulled the transmission pan to change out the filter the inside was spotless, I couldn't believe it with the mileage that was on it being the original fluid. The magnet had just s light dust on it, same goes for the rear and front diff. The transfer case looked great also. I told him this is a keeper truck for sure.
Code:
Everything looks good in this sample from your Sierra Denali. Universal averages show typical wear metals for
this type of engine after about 5,900 miles of oil use. You've run a little less than that, at 5,000 miles, but your wear
metals are all well below average levels, so your engine is seeing less wear at mechanical parts than most other
engines that we see -- that's a good thing, and hopefully it will lead to a nice, long life for this engine. No contaminants
were found, and the TBN is good at 4.0 (1.0 is too low), so try running 7,500 miles on the next fill. Great report!
