Used Oil Sample, did I waste my $ ?

[Corvette Owner]

Switched from Mobil 1 to Castrol Edge in my 1998 Corvette (seeing if I will get reduced lead readings), just changed oil (drained the Edge). I didn't take an oil sample when I should (halfway into drain). I was checking oil level in transmission and adding some oil when I remembered to sample oil, all oil was drained. I then raised rear and drained out last 4 ounces. This last 4 ounces could contain more metal, we will see. If I show a lot of lead, it may not be conclusive due to sampling.

Opinions? Did I waste my money submitting this oil sample?

If you had ran the car to full oil temp, then I beleive you will be OK. If cold, you are screwed.

I ran car to full oil temp before changing oil. Hope you guys are right, we shall see. I thought oil should be mixed, but lead is a heavy metal. . .
