The oil was used for about 5 months. Gas peaked right around the time I changed my oil, so I definitely drove like a grandma for a good portion of those 5 months. I've been using Napa Gold oil filters and an Apexi air filter. The reason why I sent in my oil for an analysis was because after my ecu tune, my car would sporadically blow out pure, white smoke while the car was warming up. This would sometimes last for about 5 minutes, but would disappear shortly after. I wanted to know whether or not it was a slight headgasket leak or if it was a product of my tune.

Are you using the 1334 Wix? Sorry, don't know what to say about the white smoke, my B18/Integra is bone stock and I've never had that happen. I don't like to mess with success.

Wear looks great though, TBN is good too. Tin is definitely odd though, I've never had tin in any of my analysis'...

You better get that leak checked out pronto.

Yep, Napa 1334, which should be the Wix.

I just realized, one thing I forgot to mention to Blackstone was that I have a magnetic drain plug. There's actually a bit of fine, black shavings on that thing.
