duh. thanks, guys. the comments from the first test:
Letting the engine sit before taking the sample is just fine. Sampling an engine right after it's been started then shut back off might result in mild fuel dilution. We didn't find any fuel in this sample, or any other contamination like dirt or coolant. Wear metals look good for the most part too, but we are a little concerned about lead at 15 ppm. That amount of bearing wear isn't much higher than average, but it is a little odd to see lead sitting so far above other metals. Universal averages show typical wear after 5,600 miles on the oil. Check back in 3,000 mi for another look.
Most recent test is below which was only ~1,000 mi from the last test... I was starting to hear a little chatter at idle and it felt a little rough at cold start. Probably just being paranoid, but she's a ton smoother at start up and idle now:
