    Some say its from bushings and bearings. Any thoughts on this guys? It's my first truck and my first oil analysis

    How was your lead level?
    Copper can come from a oil cooler too

    Thanks Pete, they also recommended that I take another sample after 10-12.000 miles. The truck I'm buying it on Friday))) so idk how many miles was on the oil that I've sent to analyze

    Lead would be high also if it was bearings

    Correct . Would have to worn through the lead to get to the copper in the bearing.

    Has some useful resources for understanding the source of wear metals.

    There's no 'fix' to the oil cooler, as I understand, they simply leach oil.

    I use Schaefer oil, and their lab, sample every 10k.

    Note the copper with lead - that led me to roll in new main and rod bearings. Copper alone SHOULD be just oil cooler.
