DML,
Some was asking jon about blackstone results. I did my first
oil and filter change @ 2700 miles. The first change was just oil and no
filter change @ 1500 miles. I expected the metals to be high.

Comments from blackstone.
The high silicon is due to gaskets and sealers in the build-up.
Wear-in normally causes high upper end metals.
We found high lower end metals in your sample.
Check back two or three more oil changes.
