Please do run the analysis. I wasn't the only user that had lead numbers go up. There was one other forum member that had that happen to him. While seeing it in another engine helped me make up my mind, it is hardly enough data to "hang a hat on".
@Shaneb75 - I'll track down the oil analysis numbers and post them later today.
Trying to get back to all these threads to post my latest results on the Schaeffer’s oil. If anyone has any other posts I can update to add to the information please let me know.
Thanks for the update! Just as an FYI, my lead was at 2 ppm before trying the Schaeffer oil. It stayed at 2 ppm for 3 oil changes. On the fourth is when I say the number start going up. Went to 7 ppm. Then I gradually saw 8-10 ppm. I had one at 22 ppm. That oil change was 6-7 changes AFTER I first saw it trending up. That is when I quit using it.
First sample was 0 ppm lead. This report which was sent to me in November of ‘23 shows that lead increased to 2 ppm, and aluminum is up a little. I’ll keep tracking this in future lab reports.

I know this may be a later off topic, but at this point I think one should be just looking for a good quality oil period. You realize the newest 6.0 is almost 15 years out of production, right? And oil specs have changed significantly since the it was developed. Other Schaeffer's having higher lead levels, has there been any oil issues with any other oil?
Get a good diesel oil, the weight you like and change it every 5k miles and "Don't worry be happy"
