Good Report from Blackstone Lab

"A little excess lead and a trace of fuel were the only things we marked in this sample from your F250, but neither is a serious concern at this point. It's pretty common to find fuel in the oil in engines that do any significant city driving or idling, and if all you've got is a trace you're doing okay. Lead comes from bearings and that's something we'll watch. It might be normal for your engine if it sees a lot of idling or hard use like towing. The low viscosity is common in this engine and isn't hurting anything. Universal averages
are based on 5,500 miles. Try 10K mi next."

06 F-250 6.0 127k miles. Rotella T6 5w-40 changed at 9k miles due to a trip. Looks like I'm good for the next 10k and check it again. I do idle a good bit and city driving and tow my boat thru the summer months.
