[QUOTE="atafonso, post: 616195, member: 23592"] There will be some metal in the oil when an engine is either built with new parts or reconditioned. For that reason the engine builders recommend changing the oil after initial break in on the bench, then after a short few miles and after that normal oil changes as per factory. When new parts are put together and they rub against each other, a polishing effect will occur leaving some residues of metal. Nothing to worry about, completely normal. I actually like to change the oil at least like three times in the first couple hundred miles, the more you change, the less scoring will happen due to the particles being forced between the parts. Now if you still find metal(sometimes flakes) after the breaking in period or on a used engine, then something is not happy inside and will give soon..😳 Abel🤓 [/QUOTE]
