Hello everyone.
I recently sent out an oil sample to Blackstone labs for analysis. I had used Castrol GTX 10w-30 for that oil change. I ran it for 5000 miles on a Bosch filter. They sent me the results and it seems that the levels of copper and lead are considered high in comparison to their ''average''. They said that means it could be showing some bearing wear.
My question is if any of you out there with a fuel injected 2.3 have had this analysis done. If so what were your levels of copper and lead?

Btw the engine currently has 195k.

Thank you.
