Here's what the oil in my Kohler 26RCA looks like at 57 hours.

My experience is that silicone sealers used on a new (or repaired-rebuilt) engine cause the flagged in yellow silicon reading above -- Which goes down over time as the silicon stops leaching out.
The analyzed oil is Amsoil 0w-40 (AZF). The original oil was only in for the first few hours. No special break-in and I'd guess that about 75% of the hours are under load. Water was <0.1% (none detected).
Don't know how often I may do analysis on this engine, but I like to get a baseline and make sure nothing is abnormal initially.
