We can read and Redline is an interesting oil, this is also a fascinating UOA because it shows a jump in the heavy metals when changing from Amsoil to Redline, which has the highest Moly content of any normal oil.

Stop reminding me about my poor Si. I miss that car so much, I wish I hadn't let it go.
Anyway, I've been told that a spike in the initial UOA after switching to Redline is "normal" and that wear metals will go back down with continued use. I gave it a few UOAs worth and went back to Amsoil. The spike in wear metals still doesn't make any sense to me, if the oil is so good.
