A more accurate way of saying what Ezio is saying is that a single report is not very useful. Blackstone is good in determining trends over time. Keep doing them to get a baseline and assuming you don't have catastrophic wear already washed out with previous oil changes it has the potential to alert you to unusual wear metals in the sample that come up.

I think an annual report is enough assuming you change 2x per year. Its not a crystal ball to all possible engine failures, but it sure has saved a few people on the forum with bad bearings. I intend to keep doing one per year now that I have changed out my bearings.

BTW your numbers look similar to mine at the first post bearing swap oil change. I did have a little fuel in my sample but not enough to worry about according to Blackstone.
