ELEVENS

I wouldn't worry about the silicon in the new engine. It's usually from the sealants used during assembly at the factory. The silicon in my 4.2L RS4 motor was 28 at 900 miles, it dropped to 6 once the motor had 2400 miles on it.

I wonder what the 2.0 engine would show - since a turbo puts more strain on the oil?

The oil in those UOAs is bunk barrel API SM 5w-30, wear is high.

Here's my UOA:
Half and half Rotella and PZ Platinum, 12cSt and low wear.
