"Something has changed since the last sample. We found a lot more lead and tin this time,
showing some excess bearing wear. Iron and copper (steel and brass/bronze parts) shot up as well. This run wasn't much longer than the last, so it would've been nice if metals were steady. Silicon read high and it might be abrasive dirt getting past the air filter, so give it a quick inspection to make sure all is well. It might be from a harmless sealer/lube. The viscosity was thick, probably due to the 10W/40 you added. Watch oil pressure and stay under 4K miles for now. Check back."
This run was virtually all city and being stuck in construction. Less than 500 highway miles this time. last run was 50/50.
Also used DGauto (dollar general) SF 10w-40 for top-off as this one eats oil. I will not do so again, nor should anyone else. Air filter has about 17k on it at present.
Fuel filter, fuel pump, ignition module, oil PSI switch, and PS belt changed during this run.
