Compare them to other UOA's on the VQ37, and to universal averages. His copper wear is 3x higher than it should be, for example. Copper comes from one major source in your engine - bearing surfaces. Fact is, any good synthetic should protect better than the universal average. That's what they're marketed to do. I can name at least one that has proven to do so even on a long OCI on the VQ37VHR.

I didn't bother reading into what Blackstone had to say because they are assuming the engine is still breaking in. It's just simply not, not after hard driving, and not after that many oil changes and miles.
