I did my first oil change, had an oil analysis done and got back the results. Two figures were flagged: 20ppm for AL and 99ppm for Iron with the following comments: Wear Metals Appear Slightly High for Oil Time, and Possible Corrosion if Aircraft Not Flown Regularly. It concluded with the recommendation to sample next oil change to check wear trend. Is it time to panic or just note the figures with interest? - Mike Don't panic. Were the analysts aware that this was a first oil change? Wear is normally slightly higher during and just after 'break in` and that might account for the numbers. Best of luck - Pragmatist - Is there anything else I can be of no help with?
