The oil is thickened up to a 30 weight so I wonder if you have some oxidation going on. This is why I like Oil Analyzer's Inc because you get TBN, oxidation, and nitration cheaper than a Blackstone uoa without TBN.

What air and oil filters are you using? Hopefully the silicon is still from break-in because it typically drops a little more quickly.
