Molybdenum is an anti-wear additive, and it also is in some piston rings. If it is not a bold number, i wouldn't worry about it. My molybdenum was 4ppm

You are running Synth arent you? they are typically very high in Moly. with the Dino Delo 400 I see in the 80's usually.

Ron,

I run Delo 400.

My last Blackstone was 240 for the molybdenum.

If you're interested, send me a PM by clicking on the place in my sig line, and I'll send my last PDF back to you for comparison to yours.

It depends alot on the brand. Delo is very high in moly for a Dino. JTHarvey is seeing 200's on his synth. Kris are you running bypass filtration? Some have been seeing the Sub micron systems filtering out the add packs.

Ron Keep an eye on the silicone this was your first change after doing the AFE wasn't it? After I switched to the AIS silicone went to 4 and now is at 2. The cooper is very good, a gradual steady increase over a couple of OCI's can be an early warning of injector washers.
