UOA came back. And it was stellar. The TBN after 10,800m was 3.7 and the analyst said it could have gone another 2k. The only wear metal to exceed the standard 5.7k interval change was copper and even that was negligible. Detergents were near new levels.

Carlos replaced the valve cover gasket, which blew and left the first three spark plugs in 2 inches of oil. Also installed new Bosch Iridium fine wire plugs and the acceleration is noticeably improved.

Changed coolant to BMW grey 50/50 and did oil change with AMOQT 10W-40 w/ Mann 7154x filter. Old filter looked great after 10,800 miles and oil still retained some translucence.
