I used Schaeffers 9000 back in 2008, and saw the lead go up. I quit using it for awhile and the lead went down.
Then, I used it again in 2010 and the lead went back up.
Pretty conclusive to me.
I have the oil analyses posted somewhere on one of the forums from way back then.

My oil analysis at 227k miles (switching back and forth between Mobil 1 TDT and Mobil Delvac 1 ESP - 5W40). The change interval was 7422 miles:
I am not a fan of 15W40 in the winter for a 6.0L. Ford and International both say that it is recommended not to use 15W40 below 20 degrees F.
The analysis above was CJ4 oil. I now have one oil change on CK oil. Sadly I did not catch a sample of it last month. I will sample again in December this year (at 7500 miles).

On the NAPA site, it says Delvac 1 ESP 5W-40 is ford WSS-M2C171-F1 approved (but FOMOCO left it off the list)

I was at Tractor Supply today and they had 3 gallons of Delvac 1 ESP 5W-40 and said they "should" be getting more. But with NAPA advertising a discounted price for it I think I'll get it at NAPA!

My 6.0L has been sitting since mid December as I don't run it in the winter. However, I have started it and drove it around the shop where it is stored twice so far, and today put the batteries on a tender.
I wasn't aware there was a shortage of motor oil, but it seems there is a shortage of everything and high prices for what is available. I like the T6 5W40; hope I can get some in a couple of months when the truck goes back into service. Maybe I'll shop now.

Not sure. I have only missed one oil analysis since owning this truck, and it was the last one (it would have been representative of the +CK version of the oil).

Word of advice…the phrase about the NASCAR driver, while I totally agree, got some threads shut down and hands slapped over in the 6.7L section.

That way we can say we're talking about Long Beach Ca Airport! I used to fly in there a LOT in the front seat of an MD-88

Great layover!
