my 1st Oil Change done and I found bits
Evening guys
I did my 1st oil. Hangers today and found 3-4 little pc of what looks like aluminum. It looks like the the foil that is on top of the oil container but much thinner. Is thi a possibility? It is not metal as it does not stick to the magnet. Other than that everything looks great! The oil l nice a clean. Should I be in panic mode? Neither me or my mechanic can figure out where it can from. All suggestions an comments welcome...... Cheers Bart |
Can you post a pic of the debris. How many miles?

In the filter or in the pan ?
Check with a magnet Rinse the debris in gasoline first to determine the true color. |
Aluminum won't stick to a magnet. Please post some pic's.

All other metals are not magnetic; i.e. aluminum, magnesium, some stainless steels, etc. It sounds like it is metal, just not magnetic. |
Got to know if it is ferrous or not to start with indicating probable source. Hence magnet +cleaning of the FOM.
For example, bearing debris often looks golden color before you rinse it. Easily mistaken for bronze Babbit bearing debris. But when you rinse it in a solvent it is grey and non-magnetic. |
Get a sample of oil analysed. They should be able to tell you what the fragments are.
