Well, what do you guys think..... Doesn't look too bad for a 12 year old truck. This report was for oil that went 7000 miles and the truck has 130,630 miles on it

looks like the oil went way too long...
the moly is basically GONE from this oil !
It is way too low imo...it is the all important lubricant !
as they suggest it may be the lack of moly that caused
the added bearing wear (lead).
what kinda air filter are you running ? its filtering VERY WELL !
when i get my reports i am careful to compare against the
"universal" sampling averages to compare my engine wear
against others.
more frequent testing will alert you to sudden changes (before
theyre catastrophic) w/in your own motor.

Thanks for the comments Bush. Yeah, I normally try to change the oil at 5000 miles, but this one got away from me.
As for air filtering, it has had the stock filter on it, but a month or two ago I changed to a Tymar intake. So, we will see what effect that has. Which items indicate the level of air filtering?!?

It looks like the iron, tin and lead were high while the molybdenum was low indicating the bearing wear. You didnt have elevated copper levels so you didnt hurt anything catastrophically but I would definetly recommend a 5K interval and a recheck at that mileage. You'll get a good comparison then.
The silicon (sand/dirt) level is the indicator for air filtration.
