I say it’s too late to do an oil sample. What is he going to compare too? Oil samples are great if you have multiple over the life of the car. Having one after something happened isn’t enough of a sample rate to tell you much. If the metal content is high, was it high before? How long has it been high? Now if you’ve sampled over the life you’ve had the car, then that would better help you determine something worse is going on. Just my 1.5 cents worth of advice.

P.S. I do oil samples on all of my cars, have for years with some more consistent than others. It’s amazing to see the metal content spike after a fender bender along with the silicon content. But doing it for the first time wouldn’t have really shown much. Here are my samples of my daily driver over the life of the car.
