Here it is, 20% replacement MMO, 5796 miles on oil. Not sure why the copper count is so high.

TBN 1.8

Blackstone Comments:
The increases in wear we found are pretty normal considering the oil stayed in use. The only reason copper is highlighted is because
it’s now twice universal averages. This may show a little extra wear at brass and bronze parts, but we’re not
overly concerned about it yet. Low insolubles and silicon show good oil and air filtration. The TBN dropped
to 1.8, so the active additive is getting a little low. Add another 1,500-2,000 miles to this oil and check back.
Looks pretty good at 191,731 miles.

Any thoughts on why the copper count went up?

Thanks!
