2018 Dodge Charger SXT. 13k on car but really only about 10k on engine. New car. Threw CEL at 130 miles. Chrysler said only option was fix car. Engine was sort of replaced after two months of NEW CAR sitting at dealer. They did a long block- on a brand new car!
Anyway, ALS analysis. First post, trying to post screen scrape as .jpg, but this gives no indication if / where it's going to post the picture, so including text.
They said silicon is high probably because of sealant, which I can believe since Joe dealer mechanic put the FrankenEngine together. There's sealant outside the engine where it shouldn't be, so there's probably some where it shouldn't be inside. 0W20 put in about 1,000 or so miles after getting car back, so this is almost a first oil change. Wanted whatever bulk oil they put in when they assembled it out of it.

Physical / Chemical
Base Number (mgKOH/g) 3.1
DIAGNOSIS 29-Aug-18
Engine wear levels appear satisfactory for run-in
period. The higher than normal copper level is due to
leaching of copper oxide from the oil cooler, and does
not indicate a related wear problem. Silicon level is
most likely due to seal and gasket material reaction
with the lubricant. Other contaminant levels
acceptable. Viscosity within specified operating range.
Action: As oil and filter(s) already changed, resample
next service interval to monitor and establish wear
trend.
