From my novice eyes, it seems to be an excellent report.
Where are all the Royal Purple haters??? I'm sure they'll chime in soon. No?
I'll be providing Royal Purple UOAs in the next couple of months - 5W30 and 5W20 on three different vehicles. Stay tuned.

The Honda 2.4L is the lowest wearing engine I've seen, including Toyota's. It does not matter what oil you run in this engine, it will always show low wear. Do a search using "Honda and 2.4" or "Accord" and you will see. The report is absolutely fine. I would take TS's advice also. I will be making the switch back to a less expensive oil once my RL supply runs out. I have the same engine.
Buster hit the nail on the head. Is there a TBN count that I am not reading?
