I finally reached over 1K miles with the new oil this past week and to managed to get a sample for testing. FYI, BlackStone required that the oil should have at least 1K prior to sending it for testing. So that's what I did. Plus, unlike recent weekends this weekend's weather was great, so I took advantage of it and got under the car and snagged some oil.
The oil wasn't as bad as when I did my last change but the oil isn't as old. However, there still seems to be some evidence of copper fragments in it. Take a look at the pic below. If you look closely, you can see little sparkles. I believe those are copper fragments.
Also, what you're looking at is the lid of the oil sample container. I managed to shake it up a bit in the container to get fragments floating around and inspect them in the lid.
I plan to send the oil sample to BS either tomorrow (Mon) or Tuesday. I'll keep ya'll posted.
