its a fairly uneventful report, i changed oil & filter at time of sample and used the same type oil.
driving conditions are 90% highway with a little towing and hauling upto 4000# in the bed.
from what i have seen from my last two runs of 10w-30, powerstroke owners can run this year around without hesitation, weather conditions here over the last two months have been 90f+ more often than not.

Is the +50 a syn oil? Good [actually a great] looking uoa and add pack.
no it is not a syn., i was able to lighten the load of my local dealers stock of the older spec CI-4 for around 11 bucks a gallon.
there was no make-up oil added during this oci

there is very little towing on this sample, but hauling upto 4000# regularly down the interstate in 90f+
after 3 sucessive runs of the same oil/grade the powerstroke seems to get along with 10w-30 quite nicely
my dealer doesn't have the tbn test kits in stock, so for the 11 bucks i'll just stick with the standard test.
as well as everything looks in the sample i doubt that the tbn is too low, manual says change at 7,500 mi., i'm not interested in extended intervals, i just like to keep an eye on everything.
last year ago i caught an injector o-ring leak on this truck with an uoa, so along with the other equipment i send a sample in at every oc.
The JD Plus 50 CI grade is no longer available and has been replaced by CJ, correct?????

oilscan test kits at my dealer are 11.84, then i take them to the post office, i think a buck or a buck and a half to ship.
this paticular sample was drawn on monday eve, mailed tuesday morning, and i recieved e-mail notifcation friday night of the results. they also mail a copy, but the e-mail is fast and all of the previous samples are available online through my account

exactly, just drop it off at the post office after sample has been drawn.
the deere number for the 10w-30 TY25851 qts CI-4
the new number TY26669 qts CJ-4
when my current stock is exausted i will switch over to the CJ-4, but i'm pretty sure protection will be just as good. the only reason for my large stash of the CI-4 is that my dealer made me a deal to take what they had left, around 20 gallons.

this is my fourth consectitive run of the same grade/brand, every sample is almost a carbon copy of the previous.
While I cannot speak for every 6.0 on the road, my 07 seems to be wearing nicely with 10w-30
Thanks for the constant update another outstanding run from this sleeper oil!!, this is CI4 correct? looks like it, did you state your doing a new CJ run?
run this oil 10,000 and dont look back!
