Hello. Newbie here. I was wondering what your expert take was on these results?:

The report says my oil was 5W/30 and I've inquired about it being a typo because I sent them 10W/30 and had it written down as such on the paperwork. I used 4 qts 10W/30 Mobil1 and 1 qt Lucas Oil Synthetic Oil Stabilizer and sent in a cold, mid stream sample of it when I was ready to change the oil. It had just over 6000 miles on the oil. You can see the lab says I could go another 1k to 7000 miles and send in the next sample. I guess as long as the TBN is above 1, it's still good.
Next time I send in the sample, it'll be a warm/hot sample as recommended in the kit. That way I can see if the fuel and trace of H20 goes away as they described that it should in the report. Also the comments say the oil viscosity was 'high' due to the Lucas additive. Since I always thought viscosity breaks down as the oil goes bad, I'll take that as a good thing and reaffirmation of the Lucus additive's benefits.
As you will see on the report, I have a 2000 Dodge Durango, 5.9L with about 147,000+ miles on it. It is FT4x4, is mildly moded with K&N FIPK2 CIA, Long Headers, FM Series 50 SUV Exhaust and that's about it.
I ran Penzoil for first 2 years on the Durango, Mobile1 by itself for the next 2 years and Mobile1 with Lucas Oil Synthetic Oil Stabilizer for the last 2 years.
TIA for your analysis opinions.
