and choose Car, Airplane, etc. and they give you a nice little explanation of what different things mean, what creates what element ppm, etc. For example, the copper in my sample is the result of my oil cooler and can be ignored. What different element normal amounts are, etc. But I think you can take the same advice that my doctor gives me each year when he reviews my annual bloodwork. He's not looking so much at the actual numbers as he is looking that I'm pretty consistent from year to year and I don't have something new out of whack that can't be easily explained.
