Wear metals are all in the signal digits which is always good. How many miles on the oil?

Well then that makes sense cause it looked like oil out of the bottle. However give the VERY low mileage insolubles are higher than I would expect. I would just make sure you don't have a leak in your intake anywhere and make sure your filter is clean and oil if applicable. I would just monitor it for the next UOA.

As RufusHusky posted, wear numbers look great. Silicon is low so you air filter is doing its job as well. Which air filter are you running?

No signs of coolant and your viscosity is holding up strong as well.
