I've been doing some reading about the oil analysis, and reviewed more than several reports.

It appears some oils have more magnesium as an additive while others employ calcium. On the reports I looked at if the magnesium count was high, the calcium count was low... and vice versa. I'm going to believe it's the oil brand, and believe my preliminary sample to be Mobil 1 if I remember correctly.

Clearly, having the test done on a regular basis will reveal trends, and I'll then start considering alternative oil choices.
