Oil analysis 1: results

Recently got my oil analyzed by a popular internet-mail-in service. Might have been 3000 mi or closer to 1000 mi, not sure. Castrol GTX 10W-30. Oil-coolant sludge and new cooler seals over 10 years ago. I was inspired by van Svenson using analysis to decide on changing the rod bearings. My total engine mileage is not reliable. Enjoy:
