Below is what I got. I think this is good especially my engine had huge oil leak problem (oil warning light came on).
What do you think? Only numbers that are way above the average are Molybdenum and Boron. What are they?
history: I switched to full synth at 60K, but after that they somehow changed it back to blend since I didn't specify the full (now they have it in my account record, so I don't have to tell them every time), so below test result is with a 5W/30 blend oil.
*******************************************************************************************
UNIT: model-2.0L turbo, oil use interval-3090 miles, type&grade Kendall GT-1 5W/30, makeup oil-none
COMMENTS: universal averages show typical wear metals for an oil from this type of engine after about 5,175 miles run on the oil. Your oil was in use 3,090 miles, and we found all wear reading around average levels, with no obvious or unusual metal shavings in the oil. Silicon, left over from the head gasket repair, was mildly high, but will improve next time. 0.5% of the oil sample was fuel which lowered the viscosity but that could be from idling or city driving. It's not hurting anything. Oil filtration appeared normal. The oil had no moisture or anti-freeze in it. Check back.
