My second oil change today at 3500 miles ...OMG what I found !!!

Dwight, ENJOY YOUR CAR! I know more people with Volvo's with blown engines than Porsche's.

When I pulled my magnetic plug to inspect for metal particles, I lost all my oil.
What do I do now?
Can I still drive the car?
I keep slipping and falling down in my garage, does that indicate my oil has the correct viscosity?


On a less sarcastic note (My wife would not be happy) I put in a magnetic plug with my last oil change so I am curious what it will have captured in 5000 miles of use

If you really want to be super happy about clean oil, drop the sump cover and examine that. I also did that with my last change and it was clean, like my filter.

You need to get a stop watch and time how long you stand up before falling, also time and count the amount of hand waving before you actually fall...all these lead to important empirical data which can be used to answer your question....as for the plug get a good Tig welder to close that hole up so the new oil will not leak out.
