When I sent my initial oil change out for analysis (~1100 miles or so), and then compared it to my NEXT change (~4000 miles), Blackstone found a significant amount of the block casting materials were missing in the 2nd sample.

All this did was confirm to me that I dont want that junk swirling around my engine for the 4000 or so miles that Nissan recommends before you change the oil during break-in.
