Big +1 clevy.
I was trying to get there without being quite so pointed.
Critical facts are missing, poor misinterpretation of the UOA trying to use a uoa for engine wear?
This is basically READ more post less, dont make up your mind before you post.
This is indeed a typical "cry wolf" bash TGMO post. and just FYI I have never used TGMO nor do I plan to. Not one of the people hyping it.

First off a blackstone used oil analysis that costs 30 bucks isn't in any way accurate for measuring wear. Its duty is to monitor the oils life,so putting any bets in the wear metal measurements is a bet lost.
The equipment they use for these cheap analysis cannot accurately measure wear metals and they would get different metal numbers from the same sample if measured again.
Secondly how can anyone tell if its actually anything more than a particle streak considering there is only a single sample and nothing to compare it to.
All anyone can glean from this used oil analysis is that the oil had fuel in it judging by the flashpoint and it was changed prematurely.
If 10000 miles was too much for this oil that was developed for Toyota engines then we can be sure of a long list of vehicles in the dealer repair shops and some mention of it in a simple google search.
Nothing to see here except a newb's lack of experience reading a used oil analysis and his/her crying wolf.
Carry on
