I just had my Insight oil analyzed. This is one of the best oil analyses I've ever seen. I'm extremely happy. 
I was surprised the wear was so small, because I frequently redline my engine, so I expected a lot more internal damage/wear.
Amsoil XL 5W-20(old synthetic formula) - ~7500 miles
Insight - 27,621 miles
WEAR METALS (ppm)
19 copper
11 iron
0 chromium
5 aluminum
4 lead
OIL ADDITIVES (wear prevention)
30 molybdenum
862 phosphorous
1116 zinc
354 magnesium
2463 calcium
CONTAMINANTS
0.0% antifreeze
0.0% fuel dilution
0.0% water
10ppm silicon (dirt)
USED OIL PROPERTIES
7.95 Cst / 20W
83 sulfur
16 oxidation
7 nitration
