For those who are interested ,
I just got back the VOA on Delvac 1 ESP 5W30 from Blackstone. I did not get the TBN, however for the UOA I will. I am currently using this oil in a 2007 6.0 powerstroke and a Kubota L4100 tractor. I purchased 16 gallons during last fall Delvac rebates ($18.99/gallon), picked it up from my local Oreily's.

Blackstone Statement:
A couple notable finds in this virgin oil. Aluminum read 8 ppm. We'll often find 1 ppm of metal here or there in virgin oil, but not quite 8 ppm - that's something to keep in mind if you send in a used sample as it will have more aluminum than it would otherwise. The additive elements (boron, calcium through zinc) are typical for engine oil (gasoline). the viscosity is slightly thicker than we'd expect a 5W30 to be, starting out, but that shouldn't be a problem, nor was contamination to blame for the reading.
