Oil Change - Reason for concern?
 

Just changed my oil today. Items on left side of penny are magnetic. Items to the right are not. Should I be concerned with amount of metal? What are the brown bits? Approx 5,000 km since last oil change. Total of 115,000km on car.

Thanks

Brown bits are either sealant chips or bits worn off the chain tensioner wear paddles. I see nothing here to be overly concerned about.

Average oil change debris. I get roughly the same amount every time the filter is examined.

Agree. Nothing to worry about.

Good to know, thanks guys

I think I'd be worried if I found a coin in my oil ! :D
