Blackstone Report

Just got the results from my 2nd oil report from Blackstone. 1st report was 5850 miles/1 year ago using Dino. This report is after switching to Rotella T Syn.

In the comment section it said, Lead increased form last oil change and that they had found quite a bit of fuel in the sample. They said to send in another sample in 3000 miles to monitor, if lead does not improve I have a problem.

I'm think injector(s) could be the fuel, whats the lead issue?

lead is used in the bearings. how long did you run the oil? did you have lots of short trips? if you went too long on the oil or had lots of short trips that could contribute to the fuel problem.
