2018 Ram 1500 5.7, Delo XLE SB 15W-40 - 10.1k mi

[Plumb Bob]

A spike in Si and Pb compared to the previous UOA. Not a big jump, but worth monitoring. Fe at normal levels for a 5.7 Hemi (ALS doesn't test for Manganese?)
TBN at 2.5, but this oil starts at 8 (D2896). I will take another sample in 5-6K. Overall, not too bad.

You mentioned you'll be taking another sample in 5k does that mean you didn't change it yet b/c it shows changed on the paper? ALS & WIX or NAPA don't test for Manganese. Would be interesting to hear their reasoning though. Been curious how this new SB version handles itself. Add pack looks great. If you remember the old Delo 400 SDE had low P & Zn but since they launched this product & they already came out with the emission friendly 600 ADF they must of realized they could beef this one up to meet more specifications. PB & Si did have a noticeable rise. Any more towing or? Fe & others look good otherwise. Nice run & Thanks for sharing

Zero towing, hence less Fe vs. previous sample. I did change it; should have said I will take a sample after 5-6K - Sorry.
Yes, Si and Pb must be monitored, especially the latter which was zero before.

Thanks for the explanation. Entirely your call but maybe you can have them record your previous sample next to this one & show them those two being off so perhaps resample? Was the prior sample from a different lab?

It was from Polaris (OA)

I'm running this in a 90 5.9 Cummins. Glad to see a uoa on it and to see the Zn & P back up like they showed on the pds. Got 2 boxes of the Delo xsp 15w40 to try next in the 24 and 12 valve Cummins since they show the same levels now.

Good looking report. Not sure how I missed this one. Picked up 12 quarts of Delo XSP 15w-40 for 34 bucks recently on a clearance mislabel.

Delo is great oil! Ran the conventional that is now discontinued for 15K in my Scion XD and just as they claimed it posted equal or better numbers than SynBlend Delvac 1300. I ran the XLE 17,5K in the Scion and it still had life left in it. Delo is good stuff.
