Comments: "Copper and Silicon levels high-Possibly from normal engine break in. No corrective action required. Oil is suitable for continued use. Resample at next regular interval."
Other than what is noted the viscosity sticks out to me. If this is a 30wt oil then Id quess it mechanically sheared horribly or the fuel dilution test was errant and there is chemical shear. I guess it could be a 20wt from the factory.
Car is driven 25 miles one way each day typically, when its driven, taking between 20-30 minutes to destination. RPMs averaging probably about 3-4K. Warm ups until the coolant needle moves into the operating area and cool downs of 1.5 to 2.5 minutes depending on ambient temp.
