Spread that thimble full over an oil change every 5,0000 miles and what I am saying is that there is no metal in the oil. And if there did happen to be any, I filter down to 1 micron. 10 times lower than the stock filter. It is going to flow through the IP and injectors... No problem.
At the end of the day, I am only giving you my experience. Which is something that the knockers can not do. You are working on Opinion.. and that is all.
Keep paying your $4.50 a gallon, Does not worry me at all...

I am not familiar with the diesel engine you run,is a good lifespan for one 2,3,400k miles,or more?do you have any oil consumption at all between oil changes?have you had your engine apart to check for wear?does it have blowby?any compression test?Blue Chip Diesel for example is a company that rebuilds IP pumps,if they chose to they could just remain silent on the issue,and make more money, but they don't,they stand up in writing and say wmo,wvo,kills pumps,all the diesel engine builders and mechanics I know wouldn't do it because they don't want to be rebuilding their engines early,obviously their are some world class duffuses on here who can manage to screw up everything they touch including their juice maker,but i hear you can get close to a mill miles from a well kept untouched cummins,i travel a lot and wouldn't mind checking it out.
