Hey Folks,
2019 RAM 1500 Classic
3.6L V6 Pentastar @ 54,225 KM/ 33,693 Miles
Amsoil Signature Series 5W-20 @ 8,392 KM / 5,214 Miles
Filter: Amsoil EA15K19
Is the high copper as concerning as noted? Possible leaching from the oil cooler or similar? I've read here and other places that some copper leaching is normal during break-in, but both of these motors should be way past break-in though yeah? Is there something about Amsoil SS that results in the high copper? I mean I am trying to use good quality oil for better wear protection and engine longevity, not to wear out bearings!
I ask as in the second attached report from my inboard boat engine last year, I also saw high copper with Amsoil SS 5W-30
2021 Centurion FI23
Pleasure Craft Marine (PCM) ZR4 409hp, GM L96 6.0L V8 @ 364 hours
