I ran a UOA at 40 miles on a fresh fill with filter change. Here are the wear metals in that fresh fill:
Iron 8
Aluminum 8
Lead 11
Copper 9
(The previous oil had 12 iron, 3 aluminum, 33 lead, and 6 copper, but still, diluted with all that new oil it should not have shown much, but for the lead.)
Also, these numbers were not generated in 40 miles, because the 5000 mile UOA was not much worse. So this must be leftover oil and/or rinse off from deposits. And I don't think the truck would have more than half a quart remaining in the engine, but who really knows. It takes 6 quarts and I usually get most of that out and always put 6 in, but maybe a new engine gets 7 quarts and the 6 quart refill capacity is accounting for what is left in the engine.
