Default '03 Oil Report (4th change)

Here's my latest oil report from Blackstone. This is my 4th oil change. Reality is that I'm probably wasting my money changing the oil once a year and having this test done, but since this is my toy, why not.

What do you think?

Nice numbers
Yet another example a 20 weight does NOT harm the engine.
What sort of oil did you use?

I wouldn't get all excited about these numbers. There is less than 500 miles on the oil in the last two changes. All that is reported is the amount of a certain element in ppm, so short OCIs lead to very low numbers.

Assuming that the wear rates are consistent, multiple the values of wear metals by 10 to extrapolate to those typical in a 5k oil change interval.
