this was a sample from a used SUV i purhcased. the engine has 100K on it. the type of oil, OCI etc is unknown. i did it mostly to see if i found any high wear metals that might indicate engine failure. seems the iron is high but BL said not to worry about it. i put in some regular dino 5-30, plan to change it out at 5K and do it again...

BL: we can't say for sure what type of oil this is (the additive levels match up with many number of different oil in our databses), but whatever it is, it seems to be doing a pretty goodjob in this santa fe. most metal are right in line with avg levels of wear, with iron reading just a little high. averages are based on ~4900 miles of use, so the high iron might just be due to a longer oil run, or we might find that this level is normal for this engine--it's not a problem, even if the oil was run short. looks like you picked up a nice one!
 
per the service records, looks like the oil was last changed at 94.5k, i changed it close to 99K, so 4.5K should be the miles this oil has on it.
