Oil analysis is helpful but not a tell all. Looking for a pattern really, I think mkpoto consistently sees elevated copper.
Everyone should make educated decisions on if they want to change them or not. I am going to change mine at 60k just because if I change them I know I will never have to mess with it. It is a easy job and can be done in my shop in a afternoon.
That being said there are many just as vcmpower has pointed out that have no issues.
