Levels are high in general - mine were high before the bearing spun, but before I could get another 5k and trend.
Good luck!

Posted my analysis:
1st reading was car when first received, OCI was calculated from last oil change from previous owner. Higher lead content.
2nd reading was when the car acted strange, with a ticking noise rhymic running up in RPM, with slight ratchet feel in the shifter. Took oil reading and it read high. Turns out bearing spun.
3rd reading was with replacement engine (miles on engine, future readings back to vehicle mileage) - replaced bearings prior to install with VAC / ARP
Car went thru two winters in Michigan being parked outside daily overnight (sub zero temps often) - daily driven year round.
Crazy that there's still zero lead readings pretty much to date.
