This is the analysis of my first OCI with Pennzoil Ultra Platinum as a part of the SOPUS promotion.
I don't like that the copper went up 50%. Other than that everything is in good order. The air cleaner is still the un-touched original. The oil filter was a Nissan part as with the previous OCI so those 2 variables were controlled. The 5W-30 is shearing a bit. As I have Mobil 1 0W-40 left over from BMW ownership I'm going to run that for 7500 miles after the current Pennzoil Platinum is run for the normal 5k OCI. The next OCI will carry me to the end of the warranty which required 5k OCIs. You'll probably not see any more UOAs for this vehicle from me.

Blackstone's comments:
Josh: Copper read a little high in this sample compared to averages, but we're guessing this may just be lingering wear-in at this point and we do expect you'll see improvements from here. Other metals are already withing the average range, but because new engines produce a lot of copper (from brass/bronze wear) it can take quite a while to get copper down to the average level, and that's fine. Averages show typical wear levels for this engine type after about 5,600 miles on the oil. No fuel dilution, water or other contamination was found. Try 7,000 miles.
