My first analysis (hope I posted it right).
I guess my motor is living on borrowed time.
I'm the original owner and have taken good care of the truck but have used ithard thoroughly. Construction tools, heavy lumber, over-size tires, off-roading, constant A/C in long, hot Houston summers.
K&N air filter. Amsoil oil filter.

Comment from report:
Unfortunately, this isn't a pretty report. Universal averages show normal levels of wear for the 22RE engine, based on ~4,000 miles of oil use. This oil has seen more use, but that can't explain all this metal.
Aluminum/chrome/iron are from the cylinder-area, and iron/copper/lead come from the bearing-area. Silicon could be a harmless sealer, so if the engine was worked on recently, that might have caused some excess wear. Silicon could also be dirt, so check air filtration. Sodium can show coolant, but tough to say for sure.
Try 4,000 miles next. Keep an eye on this engine.
