This is a semi-synthetic oil with LiquiTech add pack. It replaced the Liquid Titanium pack which is no longer available. Looking at the additive metals it appears that the most recent change has lower Moly and Calcium but increased Magnesium and a return to Titanium. All oils since the factory fill have been in sealed packaging purchased directly from a Kendall distributor.

In any event, wear metals are the real concern and they are rock bottom. The V-10 is a tough motor (if a little thirsty).

The V10 is a fantastic engine. It does well with 10W-30 synthetic and a well maintained oil filter adapter.

Dang, there are some big differences in the Zinc levels in this oil over time.
That Triton needs a supercharger.

Looks good to me. Is that the 20v or 30v.

I am confused by this post. The OP is willing to spend money on a used oil analysis, but will only spring for semi-synthetic Kendall oil. I guess Kendall has some following in the diesel community, but it is not discussed that often on BITOG, at least that's my perspective. The original poster, I think, has some concerns about the add pack changing over time in this Kendall semi-synthetic oil. The poster also points out that this oil came sealed from an authorized distributor, suggesting that there are some question with oil supply, counterfeits, whatever???

Anyway, we are looking at 5,000 mile oil changes on a big, tough engine. Any oil will do the trick, but would definitely suggest synthetic. I can't see anything in the UOA that indicates that the engine is doing anything except maybe improving a little over time (ie. viscosity). I would suggest moving to a good full syn, Mobil 1 or Rotella... and save your money on all those UOA's.

 

[AITG]

The point of UOA is to develop a history so that changes can be spotted. Looking at wear metals, exactly what would Mobil 1 improve (other than ExxonMobils' bottom line)?

Wow, If this is a motorhome I didn't expect wear to be this low. This v10 is in good health & that is very good numbers.

It's a 27 foot class A. Actual weight is 17,850 ready to roll. GVW is 18,000 so it's working.

3 valve.

Very good. Do you tow a car behind too?

Nope. It's the same size as a UPS truck so we drive it anywhere UPS goes. We take bicycles for short trips and exercise.

That sounds great. Enjoy your travels!
