SOme of those metals, like Moly, are in the oil, and not from wear of the engine. THey have a file on their site that helps explain things, and there's stuff readily available on the web to help anyone understand. The one thing that surprises me are the viscosity values. May not mean anything except to an engineer, and may be well within the expected range, and then, the oil used during breakin, might be different than 'normal' oil. Modern engines are pretty tightly machined to ensure reliable EPA results, but they still produce more metal wear during the first 1-2K miles than afterwards.
