Okay, so the new sample is on the right. It was easier to format that way...
I am going to go for 12,000 miles this time. Everything but silicon looked great, but the silicon was most likely a sampling error. I am still using M1 5W-20. Only change for next time might be M1 0W-20, for some fuel economy (I know it might be a very low increase.)
I figured I'd share. Next oil change will probably be in a year or so.
