Can you post a better image? Quite frankly, I can hardly anything on there.

I thought it was just me! :B

you added a quart on 6,000 miles? did you pull you're sample hot or cold?

not much you can do yet but sample again and keep an eye on it. Some take longer to break in then others but you shouldn't be adding a quart in 6,000 miles; not on an engine with 20,000 miles.

While this is sort of a guess IMO the iron looks O.K. and IIRC high copper might be from your Turbo starting to go (i.e. bearings). Also, the steady rise in Silicon and especially in the 30s might be an indicator of an issue with your air filtration. My silicon over the last 85K miles and around 15 analyses has always been in the single digits with an oil change of 4 to 5K miles.

How many miles on the engine?
