Oil Analysis Help

I am not totally familiar with how to read these reports and would love help interpreting it. Any thoughts on this? Thanks for any help!
See attached oil analysis.

Go to this LINK and click on "View Aircraft Explanation"...you can hover over all the elements and it explain things.

I would be using 91 octane pump gas in that 912ULS or at the very least add Decalin to the 100LL.

Those sweet liquid cooled heads on the Rotox don't put out the heat to scavenge the lead (keep it in a gaseous state to blow out the exhaust). If you use 100LL it's only a matter of time you need to have the gearbox serviced, in addition to less service intervals for almost everything.

The 12 sips gas so there no reason you can't use 5 gal gas cans to fill your rig up, and only burn 100LL when away from home.

Read the comments section. They’ve pretty much interpreted results for you.

That says it, but the lead also comes from cold starts with rich mixtures and condensate on the cylinder walls washing down. Not just blow-by. That is not related to any issue either way with this engine.

Keep flying with confidence.
