I'd question the validity of Spectrometric Oil Analysis in this case, since the affected areas we are talking about on the engines aren't part of the wet system
There is probably a chance of contaminated air getting into the oil system via balancing air for the labyrinth seals.

PWC recommend an oil change in the event of flight through volcanic ash.
