Break in procedure was followed and oil was changed at 1,100 miles. Oil was changed again at 6,500 miles and again currently at 13,482. This is the first sample that I have taken of the car's oil though.
Just wanted to see what you guys think.
Iron, copper, and molybdenum seemed high. However, correct me if im wrong but being that my car is a 13' this shouldnt be too alarming. I should be more concerned with aluminum, tin, and silicon? Another thing that seemed interesting was aluminum, tin, and molybdenum were all at or below universal averages. Also lead was 0 which I thought was interesting and I guess a good thing.
Just some background info on the car. All oil changes were done with oem 10-60 oil. 1/2 quart was added every 2,000ish miles roughly depending on driving style. The car is daily driven and has seen temperatures as low as single digits and as high as triple digits. I put about 70 miles of highway driving per day on the car.
Look forward to hearing any and all input.

The moly belongs there. I'm not sure on the other two; I can't recall seeing UOA with that unique higher-than-normal combination.
