-------------------------------------

ROGER: The high wear metals are not unusual finds in the oil from a new transmission. Lead is
coming from marking compound used at the factory, and it should mostly wash out with this oil change
or possibly the next one. Copper is left over from new parts wearing in and should also improve nicely
with the next oil change. Universal averages show typical wear metals for an oil from this engine after
about 20,000 miles use. Insolubles read at 0.1%, which is fine for a manual transmission. No
contaminants found. Check back to see improvements.
