Gang,
Below is UOA #19 for my FX4 and is another good showing for M1 AFE 0W-20. I should have kept it in longer, but I thought the TBN was going to be lower (live and learn). I will definitely run this fresh load out to 20K and see how it is doing. Of the three oils used in this truck, the M1 is the smoothest and performed the best--compare to the lower mileage MS5K runs. I also really like the low insolubles despite the longest run to date. The air filter was changed right after the 10K UOA (the 10K UOA and this one is the same load). Blackstone comments are below and your thoughts and comments always welcome.
PS...Tig--I am pretty sure that you can extend past 10K
2010_FX4: You said you were interested in the TBN, and it looks perfectly fine here at 2.9. There's still plenty of active additive left for a longer oil run, even after more than 15,000 miles on the oil. Wear hasn't changed much at all since the last sample, and this oil has about 5,000 more miles on it. You've got one nice engine on your hands, that's for sure. No harmful contaminants were found, and the TAN was 5.0 (a little more acidic than last time). Shoot for 17,500 miles next time. We think this engine will be able to handle that just fine.
