10k VW Atlas 3.6 VR6 Mobil 1 Euro 0w40

No chance you were bumping into the 1yr before the 10k?
Purchased 12/31/19 first change 08/24/20, certainly possible factory fill was done 4 mo prior to purchase, not sure of build date. However second change was 05/19/21, 9 mo and ~9,400 mi OCI. Third was 18 days short of a year and almost 100 mi over 10k
 
5K on VR6!!!
Oxidation is ok. Mobil1 0W40 has ester in it and there is higher starting oxidation.
We see, disappointed that though fuel dilution is down, a few wear metals are up. See how it trends. May sample w/o change at 5k

Don't for get that there's some wiggle room in ppm figure. For example your current and previous Al readings may be well within the standard deviation.
 
Mobil 1 FS 0W-40 is the Nectar of the Gods. This oil is vastly underappreciated for how good it is because it's attainable at a very reasonable price.
