just had my oil analysis done and the results are as follows; alum-2ppm,chrom-5ppm,copper-15ppm,iron-17ppm,lead-9ppm,tin-2ppm,silicone-13ppm,potassium-2ppm,sodium-9ppm,moly-13ppm. Physical prop;water-.glycol-nd,fuel-4.2ppm,tbn-8.7,nitration-2ppm,soot-.5ppm.Thanks for any input since this is my first one.I am using 15w40 sythn with 162500 miles on the motor.Roy

 

Still a rookie at these UOA's but there shouldn't be any fuel in your oil, traceable anyways, subscribing..

 

that is what the tech guy said but he was not entirely familure with the 7.3. Do you know where a good place to start to look as to where the fuel might come from?

 

How many miles on the oil fill?

 

cps, here's my UOA to compare, your numbers are a little different but it could be a number of things, rings, injector cup are just a couple that come to mind, take a look::Miles on unit 116,650.

Copper may be just a little high for that mileage, otherwise it looks pretty good to me.

 

would you post the actual report?
pdf style or whatever format
