I would not worry about a thing.
Did you use a fuel system cleaner?

This is with a Bosch distance plus filter.
Nope. I usually stick to top tier fuels. 87 octane.

Wonder why so much lead wear?

I'd say that it's probably about a 60/40 split city/highway.

I was wondering that myself. I used a clean container to catch the sample, and did it "mid stream" like they said. With the mileage the car has I wouldn't think that there would be any major bearing wear. It runs like a top and doesn't make any noise.

Doesn't matter even if it's from the bearings it'll still live forever

0w30... not the most stout z&p level.
9.31 CST... stay in grade ;-)
I would try a 5w30. Mobil has plenty of synth 5w30's.
And, low insolubles. [censored] good filter but could be restrictive. Try another brand or OE filter.

I got the 0w30 on sale. This go around I used M1 5w30 with the same distance plus filter. I'll send another sample off in a few months when I change the oil again and see how it compares.

I have seen a lot of D16Y8 have over heating issues, and eventual HG failure when they are not looked at properly.
Make sure you re-fresh your coolant as time can be a factor as well, fan relays, radiators, and hoses can be problematic.
But the engine doesn't care about oil, use whatever certified motor oil you want.

Thanks for the advice. I plan on doing the timing belt/water pump at 60k so ill flush the coolant and check the hoses then too.

I'd try a 10W30 (Pennzoil or Valvoline,dino or synth) and see what the next uoa looks like.
55k miles on a 1996 Civic? Wow low mileage.

baller mileage with a 5 speed on hondas.
The 1zzfe mated to a 5 speed gives worse gas mileage then the 4 speed auto.
But Hondas and their manuals seem to give baller gas mileage.
