Good morning gang,

First post here and looking for some advice. Have a pa-28 140 with an e2a at 2100 tbo.

We purchased her in January from a gent who lost his medical. She’s a great bird but since she was not flown very much in the past year, decided to start doing oil analysis.
The last 3 analyses have shown elevated iron (see enclosed) but normal for other
metals.

We did a screen analysis and the results are also shown as an attachment. The screen dump (sump and screen), from what I understand, is pretty minimal. (Quick release pin shown for scale)

I posted here to collect input. Thanks much in advance for any advice.
