Talking 7.3 engine oil analysis result

Bought the truck about 5 months ago with 147,000 mi and changed the oil at 150,000. Sent the sample in and all test were well below universal averages with no fuel or antifreeze dilution. The anylist commented on how well the engine was taken care of and that its wear was below normal. Kinda makes me feel better about the engine, now if I could only get the same feeling about the tranny.

Depending on where you get it done, $20-$25. To get the TBN values, it typically costs more ($10) extra at Blackstone).
