That is disappointing, in case someone cant see what happened I'll post the relevant stuff.Here's my latest...iron was higher than 'normal' but I also noticed this is the first winter analysis done as well (others were from oil changes from other times of the year than Dec-March, the coldest part of the year here).
5w30 Castrol Synthetic w/ Luqimoly MOS2 and Mopar SRT filter.

Everything else is great as far as wear numbers. This is why you get uoa's imo. I would put that strategy on a short leash if it was me, the engine is in it's best life as fa as miles and wear numbers go, right at 100k miles imo this shouldnt have happened. I might considering changing my strategy if this continues, I might be inclined to drain a little off and test it before changing the oil next time. At a minimum I would increase viscosity, at 100k miles no reason to use 5w20.
