See, I'm not sure why you would bother with an analysis of the break-in oil on the new trans. It's going to have tons of metal in it, and that's ok and expected for the first thousand miles or so. I wouldn't bother, just change the oil at 1000 miles and worry about the oil analysis on the next one. That's where you would need to be alarmed with metal in the sample.
