oil change analysis
It would seem that the oil is like new from the report and that my engine is way below average for wear. I didn't expect a report as good as this especially with the hot (110+) weather this oil went through. I take the truck off road and the dust is heavy. I have to open the doors and use my air compressor to blow the dust out of the interior when I get home. The engine compartment will have piles of dust and dirt in it. Stop and go traffic with the A/C wide open 5 days a week. The point is I use the truck AS A TRUCK and also commute 25 miles each way to work.

That linked website was blocked by my virus filtering software. Can you post highlights of the report?
From what you have said, I have two comments.
Cold weather, not hot, is generally harder on engines from looking at many oil analysis reports. Short trips in freezing weather is the only real "severe service" not hot weather and stop and go driving, as used to be the case before fuel injection and modern oils.
Factory stock air filters and closed breather systems are excellent and, if left alone, filter out all the dirt and dust, just like they were designed.
