W204 Used Oil Analysis - Mobil 1 0W40 -10,000 kilometers
Any ideas about the iron number?
Yes, I did idle a fair bit, but nothing extreme, I think. I'm VERY glad that I didn't run it to 20,000km as MB Canada told me to.
Thoughts?

Interesting.
I wonder why does idling up the iron levels? Lower oil pressure?
Why do you idle for long periods?

Why? Hot summer days, cold winter nights and I'm sometimes just in my car waiting to see a customer so my car is idling. I always try to apply a bit of throttle every say 5-10 minutes for a bit to boost oil pressure.
I do rev the snot out of this car once in a while, say on the highway, and redline quite a fair bit. (never when the engine is cold of course). I do drive fast, and aggressively.
Not sure if this is a reason for high iron? Thoughts?
Thanks
