Default Send me your oil analysis on the 6.0L - need info

I've been hearing that the oil (any brand) may be having shearing problems in these trucks. It may just be the 40 weight oils? I'd like to collect some data if I could. If you have any OA reports you'd like to share, no matter what brand of oil, I'd like to see them.
I'm also not sure if the problem is with the newer CJ-4 oils or even the older ones so send any reports.
If you got em, send em.
Thanks much,
Heath

I've gathered that it must be fairly dated but I have apparently missed out. I'm curious as to what people are running ( for weights). From what I've gathered the 40 are shearing down to 30's, so many are running 30 from the git go. I'm curious as to how the 30's are holding up.
Just curious.

i sent you an email via this bord but I couldn't see your address so I couldn't attach the pdf send a response to me and I will send it out

I just did a net search for blackstone reports and sheer is high on all 6.0 but I did find a lot of posted reports

I actually just stumbled on your post doing the search

What is your email? I can send you a few. No shearing for me, though.
