JIM: Your F350 is past wear-in at 50,300 Km, so the high wear metals that turned up can't be attributed to
that. If this engine does a lot of towing or other high stress work that might explain the higher wear. If that's
not the case then all we can do it wait a see if this is normal for this particular engine, or if some mechanical
problem is brewing. The oil was in good shape physically, containing no moisture or coolant. We did find
1,0% fuel, but the viscosity was normal so we doubt its an issue. We suggest staying around ~5,000 Km
and checking back to monitor wear.

upload an attachment. I scanned this one and converted it to jpeg before uploading. If you don't have a scanner, a digital photo should do. notice the soot levels 13.8. This is the unburned fuel in the oil. Anything 30 or below is good. Look at the recommendation by the analyst.

well I read it and what you wrote down...am not real sure what to make of it except higher wear than would be expected.
I am going to do mine in about a week or so, will be interesting to compare.

I see your running a DPF delete as you have no fuel in the oil. Nice just like mine.
