I did cut open the oil filter and the pleats, after cutting away from filter and squeezing out excess oil, were free of any large pieces of metal or free of any sludge, but the results are significant
Aluminum 12
Chromium 4
Iron 132
Copper 332
Lead 141
Tin 10
Moly 79
Potassium 7
Silicon 70
Sodium 45
Calcium 307
Magnesium 18
Phosphorus 614
boron 30
Zinc 782
cST Viscosity @100 14.5
TBN 2.76
OXIDATION 57
NITRATION 45
I want to add more report info, that Im learning due to OAI changing things around. the severity level was tagged at 3

Severity Status Levels:
0- Normal.
1- At least one or more items have
violated initial flagging points
yet are still considered minor.
2- A trend is developing.
3- Simple maintenance and/or
diagnostics are recommended.
4- Failure is eminent if
maintenance is not performed
Quote:
Check air induction system (filters, housings, air intake, etc
for source of abrasives (dirt). Abrasives (Silicon) are at a SIGNIFICANT LEVEL; SUGGEST monitoring OIL PRESSURE closely between samples; Bearing metal is at a SIGNIFICANT LEVEL; Viscosity is SIGNIFICANTLY HIGH; Base number is below acceptable minimum; Infrared results indicate OXIDATION is SIGNIFICANTLY HIGH; Cylinder region metals (pistons, rings, liners etc.) are at a MODERATE LEVEL; Lubricant and filter change acknowledged; Resample in 30 days;
