UOA for 2000 Mazda Miata LS. Bought it in 2014 from a second owner that had it since 2002. I drive it moderately hard, WOT at least once a week. Last 4 oil changes were all done using Castrol Edge 5w-30. Last oil filter was Mobil M-108, previous were OEM Mazda. I am a bit concerned about the high copper since I don't have an aftermarket oil cooler. I am likely to try Mobil 0w-40 for my next oil change.

Based on the above report.... you should easily do your next OCI for 6000 to 7000. Why are you changing the oil out so early? IMO, its a waste of good oil, time and $$$.

Since this is my first UOA I wasn't sure how my car was responding to the oil and mileage. I will increase my OCI for the current oil.
