Default Had My Oil Analyzed

Once a year I change my oil ( 5W-30 Mobil1). A few weeks ago I collected 8 + quarts out of my Windsor after 1,700 miles of driving (1 year). I sent a sample off to Blackstone Labs to see what they thought of it. Below are their findings. Any thoughts?

The oil's viscosity measured in the 5W/30 to 10W/30-grade range. We can't tell you the brand but it
has a pretty standard additive package. The TBN was 8.9, loads of active additive remaining, so we don't
think it has been in use very long. Universal averages for wear metals in oil from the Ford 5.8L are based on
a 3500-mile oil run. Most wear metals looked good. Lead was high and could be from a particle streak
through a bearing, which is temporary. We'll know more next time. We suggest a ~3000-mile oil change and
check back.
