Well, it is a 7.3L PSD...so why would you expect any less :B
I used to do the oil analysis' all the time on my 1996 F350 7.3L PSD. Now it has about 296K miles and is only a part-time driven vehicle. No more RV towing, no more long trips...so I basically quit doing them because it quit being important to me. The results, though, gave me the confidence I needed in the vehicle and whether or not it was worth keeping up. At one point, I was using an inferior oil, which the analysis caught after trending the results from multiple oil changes.
I'm approaching 80K miles on my RAM and plan on starting to do an analysis at every other oil change.
