Note that oil analysis done one time does little good. Do oil analysis regularly or not at all, because it is the trend over time that provides useful information. Example: Do you know if a reading of 50 parts per million in iron is significant? What about a reading of 400? But successive readings of 50, 47, 58, 51, 78, 105, & 510 should suggest to anyone that things are changing. One engine I have sampled regularly runs anywhere from 16 to 28 ppm in iron, while another has run from 50 to 85. There is nothing wrong with either engine; they each have their characteristic ranges. So, if you are going to do oil analysis, sample it regularly, keep good records & don't throw out the old data.
