Second oil change on the car.
The first oil change was at 570 miles.
Using a Motorcraft FL-910 filter.
Oil is Mobil 1 5W20..

Any thoughts??
 
Everything looks fine....

I think you'll like this little motor...they seem to wear very well once the break in period is over. The reason you don't see any bearing wear is that this engine uses an Aluminum based bearing alloy.

Seems like the oil sheared a little bit out of grade. I assume you dumped the oil?

It's a new engine, everything should go down in 1 or 2 OCIs. Nothing looks crazy to me. I'd probably sample again at the same interval, just to make sure that the M1 isn't going to continue to shear in the future (not saying it will, I've seen it with other engines breaking in). But that is just nitpicking. I wouldn't worry with that report on an engine this new.
