This is just strange

I had a lower intake gasket done about 7 thousand miles ago by the $stealership. I just had a Blacktone report done for my last oil change and this is what I got.

I'm thinking that the only other cause could be a head gasket, does anybody else have any ideas about this?

For the time being I am going to do a shorter interval on my oil changes and check the Blackstone reports, but this is very annoying.

They could have goofed on the intake gasket installed.

Are you losing coolant or is this report the only evidence you have? If your losing coolant then I'd say take it back and have them redo the gasket.

You can grab a tester and do a compression check to see if your headgasket is leaking.

keep in mind they could be reading residual as well. When you perform an oil change your not getting all the oil out.
