Alan,
First of all, what did the lab report say about it? Blackstone Labs indicates the universal average for aluminum is 4 PPM with a 40 hour oil change interval. That can be extrapolated as 1 PPM for each 10 hours of operation, so 10 PPM at 100 hours would be the average. So you are double that average and I would want to know why this changed.
Did you cut and inspect the filter?
Are other wear metals high also or just aluminum?
