Blackstone Comments: "...this level or iron is really quite a lot for just 2,487 miles of oil use. It's showing excess wear at steel parts. Maybe something operational is at play-we'll just keep an eye on it for next time..."
I really don't know what to do on this, could the iron be a result on not warming up the engine long enough before taking off on the ride? I am just guessing?? Short trips??
Any help/ideas welcome.
