Looks good, I'd push it to 15k. The only concern is fuel but that could be from a not fully-featured warmed up sample or short trips
Is 11k the OCI suggested by the minder?
excuse my ignorance, this is their 25k mile oil?

The minder called for service around 10,400 miles i believe.

Looks like the universal averages got cut off....and also Blackstone didn't way what mileage the universal averages were based. Any chance you can hit them up for these numbers?
I can post a picture later with the universal averages.

I didnt have the longest drive on it that day before taking the sample. Next time ill try to get a sample after driving home from work so it can burn off the fuel

Yup, Signature Series has 25k potential.
Thanks, Kuato!

Only your own trend analysis will inform you if the engine is doing well or wear is increasing. Two samples just not enough and different intervals. Other that multiple samples UOA is pretty useless IMO . Now if you want to really have great wear numbers just change the oil every 1000 miles. You increased the OCI and wear numbers went up as expected, question is due to wear or just a longer OCI. Probably never know, too many variables which is why, IMO, UOA is a waste of money. I threw a ton away on these years ago, now, who cares, other than coolant leaks etc not much one can do about a bad UOA report etc worry about it. Good for discussions though.

After looking at the report again, I agree...a 30 weight oil might do much better.

Yes. I'd try their SSO 0W30 and compare.

Those are almost always around 6,000 miles or so. This 18 ppm iron wear isn't awful for 11k miles, but not great in a Honda engine.
I'm blaming the 0.3 insolubles figure for the slightly elevated iron wear. Try a Fram Ultra oil filter, or MicroGreen and get that number down. Maybe a magnetic drain plug would keep cascading iron wear down too.

A STELLAR UOA report even considering Toyotas usually do well. FWIW I spotted the bypass filters in your sig, many did not notice as they were in such a rush to hit the keyboard.
