It looks like it is within spec to me. This is PYB and I imagine zinc is within a margin of error of 100PPM. This analysis is reading on the high side, but I don't see a resemblance to any other oil I know of.
Nevermind... Jeebus this forum has gone downhill. I guess I wasted my money having a real laboratory analyze my oil sample when a couple of guys who can access the internet know much better.

No one said that, but I trust that someone like Pablo can tell by looking at a UOA if a lube has possibly sheared out of grade or not. Blackstone (and every other lab) is run by people, and people can make mistakes. A lab technician is not immune from mistakes.
Then again, we can no longer see the UOA, so we don't really know.
