Nice improvement in iron. You ran this oil longer than the previous fill, yet iron actually read a little
lower and that's nice to see. A lot of that could be due to the extra make-up oil that was added, though
even within that, you are still doing a lot better than what we saw back in April of 2008. Anti-freeze remained
non-existent and no fuel dilution or water was present. The TBN was strong at 2.3, so the oil has some
active additive left. Due to this and the lower iron, we think a longer oil run would be fine next time. Try
~17,000 miles and check back then.
