    image.jpeg Any advice on this oil sample? Should I go ahead and do the bottom or just prepare for an Inframe? I am going to re sample in 7k miles as they suggest. I bought this truck from a friend of a friend and he claimed he did rods and mains 100k ago. It currently has 890k on it not 840k as the report says, I put the wrong mileage . 1998 12.7 Detroit. Doesn't use hardly any oil and loses no coolant and doesn't smoke out of that stacks at all no matter what load it's under. When I purchased this truck it had been sitting for a few months and I have no idea when the oil was last changed. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
    Thanks

    And I did just have work done to it so I do think that's why the silicon is high. Just had air compressor,power steering pump, 1 injector and high pressure fuel pump replaced. All in the last 4 weeks

    I think your right just to wait and re sample. With all the work you had done it more than likely messed with your sample.

    Well the second one is the one with the work done which I agree with the companies suggestions.....The first sample is the truck I just bought recently were they said they detected all the stuff in.

    Did you change the air filter or is there an air leak that bypasses the air filter?

    Why did you do an OA after you bought it. You always do that before.
