Oil report

I wonder why my aluminum jumped so high this time?
It's not like 6,500 is that extreme.

Any heavy towing on this sample?

Same oil used on this sample?

Didn't you replace your turbo recently?

Another thing when I review UOA I typically look for trends and I don't see anything alarming. I wouldn't be surprised if it drops on your next OCI if your driving pattern stays the same.

Don't worry your engine will probably out last the rest of the truck.

You're averaging ~5500 mile per oil change, 6500 mile is ~20% more, so 22 sounds about right.

No heavy towing on this sample.
The PCM disabled the turbo so they didn't replace it.
It apparently was a programming error.

Good thinking.
I was only thinking of it in terms of mileage where 1,000 miles isn't that big a deal from 5,500.
18.2%

I didn't try as hard as my 0.5% FIO regen experiment but I wonder if some of the 2.5% fuel is from running without a turbo for about 5 miles?
Wouldn't it be over fueling since the turbo wasn't there to clean things up?
I took it easy though.
