Here is my UOA as promised and yes its posted in two places. The only things different in the 2 reports is I installed a new Fleetguard air filter and I did not use any 2 cycle oil. Oh the oil this time was in the engine for a full year or 5.5 months longer then in 2007. BTW I still used some Power Service in the winter and my normal use of Lucas as needed. Oh the winter temps lows were colder in 2008 when compared to the 2007 winter temps.

I,m on year 2 on on my series 3000 5w30 I run Amsoil Bypass Oil filters sample came back good to go . You did mean your useing the Lucas in the fuel not the Oil? Amsoil has a great Diesel fuel concentrate an Cetain Booster . Had a friend gave be some Bio Diesel he warned me to carry a spare fuel filter because Bio will clean everything out . Well I haven,t had to do that yet an i,ve ran up to 50% Bio . Anyway carry on your on the right track and buying American prouducts is a good thing .
