Lol sorry hope this is better

I saw from your profile that you have an 09', so that means your bearings are composed of copper and lead. Those are the two you want to watch out for. Universal avg of copper is 2PPM and for lead is 8PPM for our engine. Your copper levels don't look awful, but your lead levels are a little higher than what you would hope for. How many miles do you have?

Also a little confused why youre taking a picture of your computer that has the file open, you can just upload the file via the site haha. But all good, sometimes this site gives me issues uploading sh!t.

These #s could be perceived as indicators of rod/main bearing wear. One test is not gospel and oa is really only valuable over time with multiple samples. Have you changed the rod bearings yet?

It's one report in isolation so hard to draw any big conclusions. Those wear metals look higher than typical.

Did you really burn through 2 quarts in 5,000 miles? I would not call that extreme but it is certainly not on the low side of things. How far out of spec was the viscosity?

Yea I really did, had the car parked for a year so I just took it out of storage and put those 5,000 miles on it really hard or shall I say “spiritedly”

I would definitely keep an eye on this. Might be helpful to pull a sample after some miles are on this fresh oil and see if the particulate count continues to be elevated.
