    Are you sure you don't have them listed backwards? Your numbers are getting better! If they are in the right order I don't think you have anything to worry about. Last winter my aluminum all of a sudden spiked from a usual 2 or 3 to 23. I opted to do an overhaul and my rod bearings were flaking and ready to come apart. The only other number on mine that was higher than usual was lead, which was at 11 up from 4 or 5. So, in my opinion, I think you are good. How many miles, kilometers, hours on the engine? And do you know if it's ever been done?

    they are in the correct order. I noticed the numbers are getting better which I thought was odd. The only number that has been getting worse is the Molybdenum levels. Also the iron levels jump around a bit. The engine has 508512 miles on it and I can't remember how many hours are on it. I bought the truck with 280,000 on it and there has been no internal work done to the engine.

    Yes, I see that now. On mine, with the rod bearings ready to come apart, my Mo remained at less than 1. And my Fe remained at it's usual 20 something. Hopefully you will get someone to reply who might know where the Mo might be coming from.
