Oil filter--EAO for whole duration
Oil--HDD 5w30 with no makeup oil added
Driving--80 city/20 hiway
50,362 miles on unit
Air filter--TRD
Lab# 494054---SLC, Utah----OAI
Overall severity of report is 4 which is critical for low TBN.
Comments: Base number is SEVERELY LOW; Abrasives ( silicon/dirt ) are at a minor level; Infrared results indicate beginning lube oxidation; viscosity is SLIGHTLY HIGH; lubricant and filter change acknowledged.
NOTE: First numbers are my last run of ASL, and the second is the current run of HDD. Both approximately same mileage, but OEM oil filter used on the first run.
WEAR METALS--PPM
IRON------20 / 12 --this is good.
CHROMIUM--0/0
NICKEL----0/1
ALUMINUM--7/16---this is concerning. WTH?

CONTAMINANT METALS--PPM
SILICON---30/36--Flagged
SODIUM----7/7

MULTI SOURCE METALS--PPM
TITANIUM--0/0
MOLY------59/7--HDD must not have much moly?
ANTIMONY--1/0
MANGANESE-0/0
LITHIUM---0/0

ADDITIVE METALS--PPM
MAGNESIUM--14/13

PHOSPHO----721/953
ZINC-------899/1142
FUEL-------- SOOT-------- WATER------- VISC-100CCS--11.3/12.7---Starts at 12.1, so went up a bit.
TBN----------1.88/1.85---Flagged for critical
I-R OXID----41/50---WTH is up here? I assume this is not good.
I-R NITRA---27/32--also went up.
I was hoping that by switching to HDD it would help my numbers, but it looks like i was dead wrong. I don't know what to do now after looking at the comparisons. I spent more money on the oil hoping for better results, and it didn't happen.
Any ideas or suggestions on this would be much appreciated.
Please help!!
Thanks
