I also spoke to an oil analyst from a different lab that said Potassium would likely be high as well in a coolant leak scenario. The previous potassium showed 2 ppm and this sample showed 0 ppm.

I haven't sent a sample off to another lab yet. I thought I would I put a few more miles on this oil. These details are encouraging.
Good news!

And very good, constructive feedback from the forum as well.
