I changed the oil & filter this weekend, nothing in the filter except a small glump (technical term) of what looked & felt like white sealer. It was still pliable, maybe a little over 1/8" long & smaller wide. Oil was clean with nothing in the bottom of the catch basin. I guess it's time to pull out the Bentley to see what I'm in for.

Madmods, this will be a DIY project; I haven't found much that wasn't on this thing!
