I read that it says tested values were 64.9 % at 210 f so what does that mean. one good thing was fuel was 1.5% 7800 miles on motor.

Google blackstone labs. You can request the kit to send in, they will explain the rest in the instructions. I think it cost ~$18.00 for the analysis.

read the column that says values should be. viscosity @210 should be between 69-80
yours is 64.9 witch is not good, fuel at 1.5% is not good. fuel should be less then 0.5%. you might have a bad injector. what is your flash point, it should be higher than 410, my 2nd to last oil report for my 7.3 idi that has over 180,000 miles is better than what you are saying your 6.0 is viscosity 80.6, flash point 409, fuel 0.8% i had a bad injector, after replacing the bad injector viscosity 75, flashpoint 440, fuel less than 0.05% I would suggest getting your truck looked at.

the address for blackstone is http://www.blackstone-labs.com/ , they will send you free containers for samples
