The iron/steel wear metal circulates at it it too fine to filter out. That wear metal itself creates more wear. A really good magnetic drain plug is quite effective at taking that material out of circulation and would improve the analysis and reduce wear.
I think that a 5W40 or 10W40 oil would provide better protection. Rotella Synthetic 5W40 has a very robust addative and anti wear package to deal with the demands of diesel engines, that have 18-22 compression rations and are on boost all the time at highway speeds. It used to cost $12.77 USgal at USA WalMart stores.Purolator PureOne PL10241 filters are very good.
