FWIW, I've been running oil samples for a friend (I have access to a spectrometer used for O/A for other than for Gen. Aviation) & here are the copper readings in his Aerosport O-320: 13, 28.3, 30.6, 32.6, 29.9, 16.8, 15.9, 11.3, & 8.3 All readings are parts per million. Twice, we ran samples on new oil and found zero copper in the oil. I don't have engine time info, but the first sample was in April of '02 and the latest was last December. He has flown his RV-6A about 500 hours, so it appears the highest reading occurred at around 200 hrs. Also, I don't know what oil he is using, but I think it is Aeroshell.
