Nice wear numbers. The 100C viscosity seems pretty thin.

Is this with a stock intake? Consider a new air filter if you haven't changed it yet.

I had changed it once but from what I have seen on this site the Vibe air intake has problems keeping out the dirt.

I am glad to see the copper come down significantly with this analysis.

Oxidation 72 ? Nitration 118 !!? With only 4200 miles on XD-3 ? Something isn't right there. If those numbers are correct, that alone is cause for concern.

Viscosity of 9.2 on a pure synthetic that starts out at 12.1 ? Something isn't right there either. I recall UOA from XD-3 with 10K miles on the oil and it had slightly thickened, not sheared down.

All that said, the wear numbers do look pretty good.

I admit that I don't know this particular engine at all, but I'm surprised that it could be that hard on this oil after only 4200 miles. But maybe !

12 isn't bad. Blackstone shows the univ. avg. at 11. You're fine. The airbox can be a little tricky to get sealed back up properly, but yours most likely is.

You beat up the XD3. Sheared it down some.
But, everything else looks excellent.

It kept out the Na from road salt really well.
