Silicone
Still getting high silicone in my oil samples. No visible dust in the air cleaner. Is there a smoker or something that I could put in the pcv nipple. It's got 21000 miles on it now, and my samples still come back over 20, with a warning on intake leaks, and I cant find any. I'm thinking if I could pipe smoke in behind the throttle and there is a leak, it will come out the leak. Thanks.

I've had stock,AfE, and wix-allwith the same reading. At first they said fords are high when new, then to look for leaks. What is a Ford AIS system? Wear metals are ok, but do track with the Di.

Ok Ok I've read this post 3 times already and I still don't know what the crap you two are talking about. Enlighten me here. Why are you taking oil samples and checking for silicone????? Is this a science experiment or have I been in the dark the last 40 yrs? Done all my own mechanic work for as long as I can remember and never thought to check for that. All this talk of silicone and nipples made me think I was on a plastic surgeon website. LOL. For real though what is up here?

high ho sliver people take oil samples to check how thier engine is doing. The analysis can tell if something is going wrong or about ot go wrong and can save some $. Blackstone is one company that does it. www.blackstone-labs.com since the cost of a new diesel is $10,000 or more and it only costs $20 for the oil analysis it an easy guess.
