Not much experience with UOA, any comments?

OIL TYPE & GRADE: Amsoil HDD 5W/30
Make/Model: 1988 Ford/IH 7.3 Diesel
MI/HR on Oil 3,100
MI/HR on Unit 152,820
Sample Date 11/06/10
ALUMINUM 2
CHROMIUM 1
IRON 17
COPPER 1
LEAD 11
TIN 3
MOLYBDENUM 1
NICKEL 0
MANGANESE 0
SILVER 0
TITANIUM 0
POTASSIUM 1
BORON 3
SILICON 4
SODIUM 2
CALCIUM 3310
MAGNESIUM 12
PHOSPHORUS 1115
ZINC 1230
BARIUM 0
Values
Should Be*
SUS Viscosity @ 210°F 66.8 57-65
cSt Viscosity @ 100°C 12.10 9.4-11.9
Flashpoint in °F 420 >410
Fuel % Antifreeze % 0.0 0.0
Water % 0.0 Insolubles % 0.3
Comments: A high viscosity was the only unusual find in this sample. It's still in the 30W range and wasn't high
due to any excess soot, so we don't really think it's anything to worry about, just something to note. Wear looks good and that's another reason we aren't worried about the viscosity. Universal averages show typical wear from this type of engine after 3,700 miles use on the oil. No fuel dilution or coolant was found and the low insolubles show good oil filtration. Suggest leaving this oil in use for now and check back in another 2,000 miles for another look.
