RE: HOW MUCH OIL IS TOO MUCH ?
I know how you feel. I was kinda worried about putting that many miles on it. I used to be a strict 3k oil change kinda guy even with synthetic but the more I learned about newer oil quality and changes to refinement processes I realised I wasn't getting all that I could out of the oil.
With the miles I drive and the fact I do my own maintenance it's nice to know how long I can really leave the stuff in there.
I only had it tested once and certainly wouldn't do it every time(like you said I canalmost change it for $20)but at least I know now my engineinternals are in good shape and my oil/filter is doing it's job.
Plus it was kind of fun to get the report

Your not going to be convinced by any opinion other than your own.
You apparently already know everythingso whats the point?
You had a nice truck. I hope you get it back together some day.
