Oil Analysis, High Aluminum?

Hi Everyone,

I just got the report back from my third oil analysis from Blackstone Labs. The last two oil changes have been using Castrol Edge 10W-40, LN Spin-On Oil Adapter, and Wix 51042XP Filter. The second oil change I used magnets, the latest one I used a FilterMag. The first oil change was using Mobil 1 10W-40 and the standard canister filter. The iron and copper seem to have dropped, but alumimum is up. They also mentioned the viscosity is low and the oil is shearing? Anything to be worried about? It's interesting see the difference between oils and filters.

Thanks, -Rick
