1st Blackstone Report - Thoughts?

Blackstone seems to think everything is normal. What say you?

I'm happy with these results, but I don't have much experience with interpreting the numbers. Any opinions on the high molybdenum, boron, and magnesium numbers?

I'll probably get one more oil sample tested, maybe two, before the warranty expires in December. If the results are the same, I'll likely keep this truck without extending the warranty.

I've had high moly #'s in a sample that was taken after work was done on my truck, and it was attributed to grease/assembly lubricants that were used in that work. If you've done any repairs recently maybe that's the case.

For a comparison:

My molybdenum was 10
boron was 63
magnesium was 48

last Blackstone report.

What brand/viscosity oil did you have tested?

Rotella 15W-40 dino with right at 5k on it.
I have it tested with Delo 15W-40 also at 5k and the only real difference was the magnesium was 304.
