Had CAT oil analysis done on gear for A GB I am considering. It appears that each component tested gets either a green, yellow, or red type of indicator in a box. They don't really tell you how to interpret them (although I will contact them soon), but for my port gear I got a yellow box saying to "Monitor Compartment". Appears some light amount of iron & debris was visible under the microscope and suggest changing oil and resampling in 50 hours.
When I first saw the yellow I thought oh no! It's a warning. I'm in trouble. But then again it says no other problems indicated at this time and afterall, they don't want another sample for 50 hours.
Just wondering if anyone has had same yellow flags on oil analysis ?
