blackstone oil analysis
This is the first sample I've had done with Blackstone. Its a 2006 ls2 67,000 miles and just bolt ons. I don't race but have the usual fun around town. There aren't any apparent engine issues that I am aware of.The analysis had a iron content of 81 where they say average is 26. This is at 3,000 miles with mobile 1. Anyone have any experience with their results?

I had a similar problem on my 08. First analysis was 57 at 15K. At 20K it went to 179. I was a little concerned but did not loose any sleep over it. Blackstone said the universal averages are calculated on a 4100 mile change. I ran it to exactly 4100 and sent in the sample. It came down to 43 on that sample. 33 is the average for mine. If your engine is quiet and running good I would check it again with 4100 on it. Later! Frank
PS: Did you let a couple quarts run out before collecting the sample?

7,711 miles on M1 5W-30, iron is 29.
So my oil had twice your miles but less than half of your iron.
Does your car sit a lot, or get stored for part of the year?
OTOH, it's the trend that counts. I'd re-sample after another 3k miles and see what happens. Sometimes you get blips that are hard to explain.
Good luck with yours!
