My trucks a year old...got 8200mi on her...had oil changed at 2967mi and tested by Blackstone and all looked good...just had the oil changed at 6780mi and tested and there is 6% diesel in the oil and excessive copper, iron and silicone in the oil...possible injectors, Blackstone rep actually called me with their concerns...who knows but there is definatly a problem...
I took the results to the dealer today and they blew me off...said they never heard of testing oil and said that I have a warenty so don't worry about it...idiots.

I've had my engine oil analyzed by Blackstone since the beginning. I'm presently waiting to hear back from Blackstone concerning my 9th oil change sample. My rig just clocked 31,000+ miles and the rig will be one year old in June of this year.
Several samples taken during oil changes this winter indicated fuel in oil was climbing. The highest it's been as reported by Blackstone was 4%. My last oil change and sample, the sample before the one I'm now waiting on, indicated fuel in oil of 0.5%. Blackstone commented that either I forgot to tell them that I had the fuel system repaired or that I am just lucky.
For the record no mechanical or PCM software repairs have been done to the truck. I think the drop in fuel percentage may be due to the switch in fuel blends and by not idling the engine excessively without kicking the idle up to 1200rpm via my idle up switch (see signature below).

he always fills them past the max mark...
You might mention on the survey that it is evident that the service dept doesn't even read Ford's Broadcast Messages. Gees...they sent that out well over a year ago regarding oil fill levels.
BTW Sirballsalot...How have you been?

If its an injector problem that could be fixed. Better then a whole new engine. I would do this the sooner the better. Good Luck Man if the dealer or whoever works there would tell me that. Id probably become unglued. Do they realize who pays there bills. Keeps them in business. We do. I am lucky the service department of my dealership is great. If I have a problem I tell them the best I can about it. And they treat me like you would want to be treatred. With respect. Off course its a small town dealership and everybody know everybody else. Word gets around fast.

Let's see how well "always fills them past the max mark" goes down with customer satisfaction.
