DAVID: This oil was in use 14,800 miles and has not been changed since the engine was new. Given those conditions, we are not surprised that wear read like it did. The engine is breaking in still, so the metals and silicon should decrease with future oil changes. Potassium and sodium are probably factory leftovers. You might want to do a short-run oil ,3000 miles, to get these abrasive elements out of the block. The TBN read 2.3, showing some ,not a lot, active additive remaining. We'd use fewer miles next oil change. We can't tell you exactly what kind of oil this is.
What do they mean by "short-run oil" and why would I want to do that?
