I would try a simple dilution and then ICP analysis.  Used and new lubricants are typically analyzed using ASTM method  D5185.  The oil is diluted 1-10 in xylene (yes - this reduces the sensitivity 10 fold, however, most elements can still be detected down to ~ 1 ppm) and then aspirated into the ICP.
