Default oil report!

Alright guys i need some engine help! I just got my oil analysis back tonight. Now here is my dilemma. I did use Engine Restore in my engine, but forgot to put that i did use a additive. He reported back that Lead and Copper were high, but he thought i may be using Restore. But on another forum i was told the Restore was basically a Moly mix. And was told that the lead and copper are bearings. So now i am kinda freaking out! What do you guys think? Does restore contain alot of lead and copper?

Here is a link to my analysis.

nothing, i am not having any problems with my truck. I have 145,000 miles on my truck, i'm layed off and get bored, so i spent a day changing oil and getting a oil sample, did a compression check, regapped plugs, fuel filter.

Truck runs good, no complaints except could use some more power...

I'll be getting an Oil Analysis done on my wife's and mom's cars soon, and I guess I could do mine too since the oil sample kits that I bought came in 3 packs. What company did your OA? I bought my kits from a co I found on google, "the oil analysis company", youroil.net. Nothing wrong with these vehicles either, just conducting a sort of experiment on Amsoil and their oil filters.

I wouldn't worry then.. Them mats are in the restore. I think your getting soo bored that your turning into you own worse enemy. Change the oil and motor on.. Do some mods if it feels slow.. Hit it with some juice or FI

Oil analysis is best evaluated over several results to observe trends. I feel your Restore is part of the issue here.
