Is that 7725 miles on the oil or the truck?

7725 on the oil
47k on the truck

Great report. No harm in 20 wt in this engine family.

Naw,man. You ran it far enough,look at your fuel and flash.

I meant to state in the first post that i didn't run the engine long enough before doing the change/sample to burn off the excess fuel in the oil.
I had the same results in an earlier test with excess fuel. The following test I changed and sampled the oil immediately after a 100 mile highway drive and didn't have any fuel in the oil.
BTW, Blackstone suggested I go for 9k on the next sample. Not too sure about that....

Most never run their syn oil long enough .I get a kick out of the people who read up and believe all the stuff about syn oil enough to pay the higher price but for some reason do not believe it doesn't go the distance.

I want to see someone run amsoil for 25,000 miles.

The TBN is still high. I think you could do 9-10,000 miles no problem.

Amsoils claim to fame is as a longlife motor oil. I just do not understand why people believe all information on the Amsoil literature 'till the part that says it lasts longer.
