Results from oil analysis. Engine has 8500 miles on it. The copper is definitely high, but since the tin and lead are low I'm not super concerned yet. I'll send in another sample next oil change and if it's still high I'm switching viscosity.

Do an oil analysis as much as you want, as long as you follow a good oil change interval that is within the Vehicle Manufacturers recommendations and keep using the recommended oil(both weight and API rating) then you should be fine unless you have that one off engine that randomly takes a **** on you.
Interesting to see that your Silicon was high like it has been on my truck as well. My next test will be in 5,000 miles at 50k. I'll be curious how my numbers look by comparison. Thanks for posting up results!
