Comments: "Copper and Silicon levels high-Possibly from normal engine break in. No corrective action required. Oil is suitable for continued use. Resample at next regular interval."

Other than what is noted the viscosity sticks out to me. If this is a 30wt oil then Id quess it mechanically sheared horribly or the fuel dilution test was errant and there is chemical shear. I guess it could be a 20wt from the factory.

Car is driven 25 miles one way each day typically, when its driven, taking between 20-30 minutes to destination. RPMs averaging probably about 3-4K. Warm ups until the coolant needle moves into the operating area and cool downs of 1.5 to 2.5 minutes depending on ambient temp.

What lab?

Anyone know the factory fill vendor & flavor on this?

There are getting to be a lot of DI engines.

Sorry. Lab was Oil Analyzers, Inc.

Car was built in Japan, not sure if that helps ID the OEM oil.

Did I miss a flash point?

You didnt. OAI does not test for that.

What oil did you use for the oil change?

Had a free oil change from the dealer who put in MC 5w30. I will have this changed or change it myself at the 3K mile mark, oil will have approx 1726 miles on it, and take another sample.

Sounds like you "baby" your car. My wife's Speed 3 isn't that lucky.
