What paths can silicon contamination enter.
(1.) Air filtration equipment and connections, then into combustion chamber, then past rings, valves etc.
If you believed your air filtration and connections to be ok what other paths would there be.
Contaminated fuel washing past rings, pcv
New car, silicon was high(56), 5k mi run on oil from 4-9,000 miles. Have changed oem air filter (now napa gold wix air filter on), see what next UOA shows. Maybe my dirty hand brushed the top of container during sample not sure
