From another poster in another forum, in part:

However, if the the IMS bearing were going bad the amount of say chromium or manganese would be up too since the IMS bearing's composition is probably SAE 52100 bearing steel which contains carbon, chrome, iron, manganese, phosphorus, silicon, and sulphur...

Also, I read that certain oils have more additives than others... and I fail to recall exactly what I put in the oil change before last.

LOL.
