I know that only one oil analysis isn't suppose to say much or mean anything but mine just scares me a bit. I"m usually doing oil changes at every 5k but when I got the sample, it was at a 7.5k interval.
I just wanted to see your guys' take on this one just so I can know what to do. Thanks in advance. If I'm missing any info, please feel free to ask.

Iron and aluminum are quite high, all else look ok. Given this is your first report I’m going to guess that oil has been in there longer than indicated. Iron usual tracks to mileage and often aluminum does too. Other option is you have bimetal bearings near failure. The latter seems less likely with iron being so high.
