The heading of the column in that section of the report says "Base", not "Abn". I interpreted it as the specs of a new/virgin oil for comparison.
I would gravitate to that, except that being the "LE" version (CJ-4) I would think TBN would be maxed around 10.0 - 10.5 and nowhere near 12.5. Something is amiss here.
However - that does not take away from the EXCELLENT wear and generall condtion of the engine and oil!
I hope that one did not OCI this load; it's still got a LOT of life left in it.
