Comments: Thanks for the notes. You mentioned the oil life monitor said about 43% was remaining and it was probably right; this oil could've seen more use. Universal averages show typical wear levels for this type of GM engine after about 5,300 miles of oil use. You didn't go that long on this fill, which is probably why iron (steel) read lower. It's the only metal that should increase with miles on the oil, while the others remain relatively close to average. The viscosity was low for a 5W/30 and read in the 5W/20 range. The TBN was strong at 3.2, so try 5,000 miles next. Nice!
