Looking for insight from those with experience.
I have a Cherokee 140 with O320-E2A Lycoming with 1560hrs SMOH.
It’s had more or less regular oil analysis.
During past 24mos (250hrs) it’s been showing a climbing iron level.
67,88,94, 111,115, with reports being “flagged”. Last analysis came in at 97, and was “green lighted”.
Im curious as to whether these levels are cause for alarm, or just need “watching”, or just normal for an aging engine? I’ve been in alarm mode and pricing and sourcing potential overhaul.
