Dirty gritty drained oil when I did the oil change today

And the results are in. Looks like things are normal. Thank God!

However, the strange thing is that no one else on these forums reported their oil looking as bad as mine. What, did mine for some reason have really unusual rough brass and bronze parts, which would mean more leftover material? Or maybe because I babied it so much during break-in those parts took longer to smooth out, and then after break-in I was a little more aggressive with the car, which produced all that copper like debris.

Oh, and this still doesn't explain why it seems like I lost about a .5 quart of oil 2 or 3 weeks after the oil change.

I don't know. Who knows. I'm just glad the car is ok.
