Latest 6.0 4 year 22,000 mile UOA

Better than I expected



the row of missing info on the bottom

had the TBN value @ 3.16
Viscosity @ 11.3

and the date and mileage used that I already have listed in the title.

The 6.0 in OEM form is gentle on this oil...

Wow I honestly can't believe that, and you are only running the stock filter setup?

I know a lot of people want to change early on the 6.0 due to the injector design but even taking that out of the equation, it is very impressive to get that out of a diesel with stock filter setup just from an oil standpoint alone. Im actually in the market for an 05-07 F350 single cab dually myself to save miles on the cummins and to have a shorter truck setup versus the crew cab long bed dually. I have been wanting one for a while now but could never justify it with having the cummins and the idi already. Now that the idi is gone I am hoping to find a good one by the end of the year.

My 06 3500 Cummins can only do about 12,000 or so on Amsoil synthetic series with stock filter setup. I can only begin to imagine the uproar you would start on the 6.0 forums

That is actually the same exact oil I use in my diesels except in the colder times of the year when I switch back to the 5w-40 DEOQT line.

not using a bypass but the full flow filter is an AMSOIL product.
new air filter/oilcooler/turbo/egr delete and oil change 4 years ago.

30 weight works well in 6.0s too

Your wear metals are still mind blowingly low for that many miles regardless of any kind of filter setup that one could even reasonably install.

Are you running WMO in this one?

Oh no! no way in hell you ever see a sample that clean running wmo as fuel!

wear metals are hilariously high running wmo for fuel, hard to determine oil
condition this way, but with trending the wear rate can be followed.

All in how you understand the prior results against the new ones, this means
having a few reports to study with, Trending.

The metals in ppm will fly red flags every time and recommend engine inspection and oil change.

Well maybe!
