Driving the f250 now so I will have some used oil analysis in the diesel section.

I will also still be doing the used oil analysis on this truck, they will just be longer time wise because it will be driven less.

You can see the formulation in the Castrol changing from moderate Calcium/High Mg to high Calcium/low Mg in the last couple of OCI's. I had thought Castrol shifted the 0W-40 Edge back to lower Calcium in later 2016 or early 2017. In any case, OP is either using an older version or Castrol changed it once again.

I bet Castrol changed it again as look at the 5w30 VOA that was posted
