The miles listed above... are those miles on the truck or miles on each sample of oil? I'm assuming miles on the oil, but you can never be sure
If so, it looks pretty good. One thing to for everyone to remember when looking at these is if going from a 5k to a 12.5k sample, if everything was consistant, then the values would be a little more than double. Everything stayed pretty much the same and that's good. The iron went up but there's nothing wrong with a 70 with those miles.
One nice that is missing is the TBN. Gives a good indication of life left in the oil. Might want to request it next time??

I use Staveley Services which is what you get through Amsoil. They send me the postage paid package so when I take the sample it just gets dropped in the mail. Each analysis is logged and tracked so when they send me the results it has a graph of each analysis that has been done and the changes between each one.

P.S. Mobil 1 TBN when new is 11. From what I've found, my TBN was good enough were I could have ran the Mobil 1 for another 5k+!
