The bottom sample was cold. The level is within experiemental error for the instrument that is used (<5%). The Zinc is found in a common anti-wear agent. It I was to pontificate and speculate, I would say that the hot oil allows the Zinc to plate on the metal surface and when cold and has a decreased affinity. Sounds cool but I do not think it is accurate.
