Granted I only did one analysis and I believe I had just switched to synthetic. Perhaps I should have ran another batch of synthetic to see what the report then said. I believe some metal counts were high which is why the recommended a 5k OCI. Perhaps it cleaned everything out and the gunk/deposits accumulated in the oil on the switch to syn. Guess I'll never know now...

You are right. The only way to know for your car is to send out a sample.
