Questions:
Who did each UOA?
What were their comments?
Does the last UOA sample still exist for a retest?
Was the same brand & type of oil used at each UOA?
Are you running the same brand & type of oil now?
What happened during the "missing" miles between UOAs?
How does "recent driving" compare to previous UOA driving?
How much of the last UOA saw the "recent driving" conditions?
Suggestions:
Get the answers to all above questions! (Answers may prompt more questions!)
Do a mid-run UOA at 2,000 mi, then another at OCI of 5,000 mi to track wear metal progress, OR...
Run a double application of Auto-Rx clean & rinse (following "sludge cleaning" directions), THEN...
Switch to a Group IV (PAO) oil like Mobil 1 or Amsoil 5W-40, 10W-40 or 15W/20W-50 for improved protection over Group III Shell RTS.
Do another mid-run UOA after A-Rx procedure & switch over to PAO.
