Palangi,

I agree about moly, zinc, magnesium, phosphorus are from the oil additives in Mobil 1.
However, would not the "standard" numbers of Mobil 1 SUV be known and adjusted by Blackstone lab? The point of this type of report is to be compared to what it should be to the oil used. I think, I do not known this, the lab may be using "brand X’ or dino oil "normal numbers which would make the report not very useful unless there is a big problem.

Besides the potassium of 10 ppm instead of <5 ppm is the viscosity of 80.3 after 3,000 miles. Again it is my first oil report but I am not clear about how useful an oil analysis is for an average car that does not have obvious issues.
