I just got the report back for my Golf. I ran 15,122km on the factory fill. This includes whatever running / drive cycle was done before I got the car at 182km, plus ~15,000km of my daily 130km commute from September through March in the BC interior.

Oil Changed? YES
Anything here I should be worried about?
I was expecting around 25ppm copper and 33 isn't far off. The other metals all looked pretty reasonable and the Silicon I figured would be higher since it was a new car/engine but I'm happy to see it that low.
