http://www.loosefigures.com/car/C84474.pdfI ran about 10 gallons of leaded gas on that oil, so that would explain the lead in the oil like they said. However, why does the oil reading appear to be so thin when there was no gas in the oil to thin it out?

Extreme heat over time is what thins oil out. This is a combination of the stock oil cooler (in the stock location) and waiting too long to change your oil.
Obviously, different brands of oil will break down sooner than others as well.

Well... If you don't have low oil pressure, then I wouldn't be too worried about it. Go about like normal and see what the next sample looks like.
