yeah, it doesn't hurt to get it done and its not that expensive, really. good way to also tell how long you can extend your oil change intervals so you aren't wasting oil that has alot of life still left in it.
you know, after looking it over again after doing some more research, i'm a little concerned with the chromium number, which is the ring/cylinder wall. that's a little high especially for a small engine (you don't see much over 2ppm in most engines) and my oil usage is up...i'm going to take a look over the intake and see if i have a leak. that would explain the high silicon number (ingested dirt) and higher wear. we'll see i guess.
