>> All the
data demonstrated here is impressive, but leaving oil in my car for 7500
miles or 10,000 miles would still freak me out.<<

Plenty of manufacturers are specifying long oil change intervals now.
Dont think 20000 miles is that unusual now

>>The oil came out golden and beautiful - just like new - but there were
metal
filings in it.  This is obviously residue from assembly, but it spooked me
nonetheless.<<

I would suspect that these metal filings would not have got past the gauze
filter
to reach the oil pump, let alone through the pump and into the filter

All the best
