Yeah, and the TBN's looking weak.

The numbers look slightly better than my 2nd oil change in V6 RAV4 (except for viscosoity): http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubb...true#Post803213 How many total miles on the car?

5k max on that oil.

Report says a little over 10k on the unit.

OK, I see it now, then there is still some post brake in stuff.

going to keep it on the dealer recommended 5K OCI for now will pull another sample at 20K. the way mom drives that shouldn't take too long. also have to see if dealer stocks full synth for after break-in.

5k max is Toyota's recommendation. This engine throws off serious copper for 25k miles. In NYC, because of the driving style and weather patterns, I would definitely stick with a full synthetic.

That right there probably accounts for a substantial portion of your silicon reading. I seriously doubt he took any steps to ensure he was collecting a clean sample.
