Wow, that was a lot of positive feedback for an oil analysis - I'm surprised that they didn't say something about how you've lost weight recently.

Looks like everything that my one-a-day vitamins have in them.

Maybe I should just take a shot glass of used motor oil everyday instead.

How do metal flakes etc show up since they are not disolved in solution typically?

They don't show up in UOA's, that why you need to inspect the oil filter, get a magnetic drain plug and periodically drop the sump plate to see whats in there and check for metal or other debris.
