going back to my vw roots...

that's actually a really solid first oil run. check out your viscosity - that is really good for that long of an oil change in the dead of summer, once your wear metals go down i bet you could push 6k mile oil changes easily.

definitely no bad signs and you have good sealing going on with no fuel or water dilution (also helped by lots of long trips). the most important thing is to look at the averages for your particular car, not what's relative to other cars. looks good!

that's what i was thinking too. the silicon levels are kinda high, but that's normal from factory oil as i've heard/read. i'm looking to push more than 6k though. i'll likely try 10k intervals after my next 5k oil change if the numbers hold up. i checked the oil level prior to this change and it didn't seem to show any signs of consumption as i would expect.
