Found something in my oil filter

Changed the oil today and then cut open the filter to see what might be lurking inside

Low and behold, I found OIL. That's right just plain old oil, no little green bits of plastic and no metal bits, nothing but oil! Daddy's a happy man :dance:

This was my first oil change since i got the car a few months ago. The oil had been changed right before it was listed for sale and it now was time for the 60K service and even though it was just a few 1000 miles since the last change, I figured it would not hurt. Besides I wanted to check the filter anyway

I am one happy camper! Took a sample and off to Blackstone it goes.

In case anyone is interested, Walmart has Mobil 1 0w-40w on sales right now, 5 quarts ~$23 that's ~$4.60 a quart!
