Question Oil Analysis/ Slow indicated oil press. on start
I just got back the results of my first oil analysis from Fleetguard/ Monitor, and have actually two questions to post here regarding my lube system. First, it seems the iron PPM count is high (see below for numbers). Second, and possibly related is the slow rise of indicated (and heard) oil pressure on start.....whether cold or warm. I have read on this forum where it seems to be a common problem, with many guys using pre-oilers. I have had two other 1st gen. 12 valves prior to my current 2nd gen, and neither took long to pump up on start. When properly Alaska cold soaked (plugged in), it takes 5-6 Mississippi......warm is 3-4 Mississipi. I am a 25 year aircraft mechanic, and this seems just too long......but I know I am not alone in 2nd gens. My oil pressure is 50-55 on speed, 35-40 at idle. I have only had this truck since last November, and this oil analysis was done at 5162 miles using Delo 400 10W-30 and Fleetguard 3894 filter. Any informed advice from those "in the know" regarding both questions is appreciated. Thanks in advance......

There appears to be nothing listed for both TAN and TBN. What seems to be the consensus regarding test labs? I see several guys mentioning Blackstone, what about the Fleetguard Monitor program?
