JACOB: Copper is reading a bit above the universal average, but our bet is that this is just residual from the break-in period. This looks to be only the second or third oil change, and it can take a while for copper to come down when an engine is new. We'll look for copper to improve next time. The other wear metals already look pretty good compared to averages, which are based on about 5,400 miles on the oil. A trace of fuel and slightly thin viscosity isn’t a big deal. The TBN was 3.4, still active additive left. Try around 6,000miles for the next fill.
