Towed 2000lbs in 100F heat for the last 1300MI on the oil (95% Highway driving with little traffic). First 1300MI of engine were short trips in the city.
I am not going to freak out over the copper, iron, and aluminum since the engine is breaking in. I plan on leaving the oil in until the OLM tells me to dump it (as per the manual). Will do another analysis then.

This is the type of oil used for Honda Factory fills,
loaded with an anti-wear compound called molybdenum-
disulfide and reading lighit in viscosity from use. We
didn’t find anything high enough in this sample to be
considered a problem. The highlighted metals typically
read high in new Honda engine samples and metals and
silicon will drop in the next sample. The TBN was 2.7,
still some active additive remaining in the oil. We
consider a reading of 1.0 or lower to be too low. The next
sample should look better.
