This is the second oil sample from my John Deere 260 Garden Tractor that had some engine knock so metals are high. You can delve into some of that information here. I've fixed that knocking issue today & this sample is before that repair.

Woo the difference in wear metals between your first one and this one are massive! Honestly, the wear numbers you have here don’t worry me much. I’ve seen higher in some of my vehicles lol

LOL This was using two different labs but the copper going down 34 ppm & Pb going down 12 ppm I think it's enough to show a difference.
