2nd testing the other gear for comparison.
I'm no expert but in addition to D.D. comment I noticed that the calcium , zinc and phosphorus are way down compared to the oil test in the first report.

THose items are often antiwear additives and in fresh oil should show much higher.
Which oil were you using in the first report? It simply shows as lube oil.

It does not appear in the next reports but rather ATF.
Which ATF? Are you using Dexron?

If you were using SAE 30 engine oil previously then maybe that might be what is needed to include the antiwear additives.

You might also ask for the TAN and TBN although it will cost you a bit more for those two tests.
