Yes,this the first uoa on the car and the first run on the oil.

I put about 30 miles a day on my car and half of that is stop & go.I rarely take the freeway.I do take short rides often.I recently installed a Greddy Emanage Blue that is set up for 91 octane.It seems to be tuned correctly but am wondering if that plays a part in the small amount of fuel in...

The mileage on the oil was 6000 miles.I started this post mainly to figure out if my car is the problem or the oil is failing me.I was also surprised the TBN was so low.I am not a racer and don't really abuse my car.I got the oil from Napa.
