Oil Analysis Results - comments??
Hey there. Just did my first oil analysis, wondered what any of the experts on here thought.

Oil is Amsoil Series 3000 HDD 5w-30
5200 miles on the oil
35,000 miles on the diesel engine
sampled through the dipstick
analyzed at Oil Analyzers, Inc..
Soot <1.0
OXD <1.0
NOX 7.1
TBN 9.2
h20 <.05
Fuel <1.0
viscosity @100C 10.9
Fe 42
Cr 2
pb 1
cu 2
Sn 1
Al 14
ni 1
ag 0
Mn 1
Si 6
B 32
Na 2

ANy comments would be appreciated! The guy at oil analyzers said he believes that the wear metals - iron and aluminum and chromium are due to the engine still breaking in at 35k. Also he thinks some of the deposits may be due to the amsoil cleaning out gunk from the old dino oil. Also I think I took the sample from too low in the oil pan, and the car sat for 10 mins, so might be some settling... Any thoughts on the analysis??
