amsoil vs delo oil analysis

Well I have seen alot of people ask about oil so just before I switched my truck over to amsoil ame 15-40 from delo 400 I took an oil sample with 5276 miles on the delo and then after I had ran the amsoil for 5466 miles I sampled it, here are the results.

delo 400 ci-4+ amsoil 15-40(ame)
5,276 miles on oil 5,466
26,350 miles on unit 31,460
25 iron 29
1 chromium 1
4 lead 5
2 copper 3
0 tin 0
5 aluminum 3
0 nickel 0
1 silver 1
8 silicon 4
139 boron 18
7 sodium 9
11 magnesium 14
3454 calcium 3661
0 barium 0
1277 phosphorus 1260
1512 zink 1462
199 molybdenum 24
0 titanium 0
0 vanadium 0
0 potassium 0
<1 fuel <1
14.64 vis@100c 12.39
0 water 0
.9 soot (%wt) .9
no coolant no

I hope someone can use this info. Now for all you oil guys, why would the amsoil show vis@100c at 12.39 when amsoil specs show 14.4 vis@100 for this oil? thanks
Dale
