Found this used oil analysis for insight. It appears the car suffered piston wear (molybdenum coating wore off into oil): 5W-20 AMSOIL 7500 miles 2001 HONDA INSIGHT 1.0L 5-speed manual gas-electric lean-burn - Bob Is The Oil Guy

"I frequently redline my engine, so I expected a lot more internal damage/wear. Amsoil XL 5W-20(old full synthetic formula) - ~7500 miles. Insight - 27,621 miles

I'd definitely be trying to work those numbers down.

Here are a couple of others:

And the one you found:

An outstanding oil Analysis!!!

Good thing it was the first analysis, he'd be pretty disappointed if he saw some other peoples numbers. Though, the Insight engine is a very nice wearing engine indeed.

Which ones? They all look okay to me (except moly)

Well, all of them, ideally.

19 iron and 11 copper is way higher than I'd like to see. If you look at some of those other reports, they should be in the single digits, once the engine is broken in.
