Blackstone Comments:
Since the oil wasn't changed after the last report, it's not a surprise that metals went up, although it does look like this engine produced more wear on a per-hour basis over the second leg of this oil run. Take iron, for example; you got 15 ppm in the first 56 hours, but added another 12 ppm in the last 28 hours, nearly twice the wear-rate. Chrome (rings) and copper (brass/bronze parts) are both high, and we also found excess fuel, at 2.8%, which lowered the viscosity. The TBN is still strong at 7.6, but due to metals and fuel, it's time to change this oil. Check back.
