Any input here guys? I don't know what I'm looking at besides it said continue normal usage.

Looks really good, Keep doing what you have been doing. 0 to single digits on your wear metals thats great. As stated no corrective action needed:)

That's what I was thinking, but I was a little skeptical on the Sodium and soot levels. This was first sample taking, I now will be extending to 10K for dino. I use PS every fillup and 1 qrt every other if possible. Was also getting a little nervous about the injectors.

Looks good. Probably could go another 5k miles on this load and then resample. Wear metals are reasonable. TBN looks strong. I'd continue using it.

Looks like it's from staveley labs..that's who I use. ( I'm in parma, just south of cleveland )..anyway, the report looks good, and when you sample it again, you want to monitor TBN, viscosity, and soot for any changes over time.
