Do you have a non factory oil cooler on your EX? Personally, I would not worry about the copper since every thing else looks real good.

No. I noticed lead was up a little too.

Bought truck at 80k mi. changed twice AME15-40, but bypass on changed again at 98K, took sample at 108K, 10K on oil.

10K seems to be a good drain interval for you on this oil. The viscosity is getting close to a 30 weight and the oxidation levels show 37. Copper at 20 ppm for 10K isn't anything to get excited about, still within normal limits. Good report.

OK here it is with 14K mi. I changed oil and filters when i took this sample. Looks to me copper is getting worse, And Vis is stable now.
It is a little small to read: Hear they are, 1 st sanple 10k mi, 2nd 14K mi

I'm still concerned about the copper.
Hopefully I'll get some comments now that I made it easier to read.

I think the AME is cleaning out your oil cooler. I would not have worried nor changed the oil at 14K.
