yeah, Definitely better than the last oil change. I would change the oil on my STi and it would be black in a week. (Bigger ring gaps and forged pistons) It is odd to see it from a brand new oem engine though. I’ve still got both jugs of used oil that I can take samples from, and plan on...

yes, I will be taking the oil to the dealer and see what they say. It’s be good to get it documented as well.

Update: I changed my oil today again after another 1200 miles and It was pretty damn dark. Only found one small sliver about 1/8” long, It appeared to be aluminum as it wasn’t magnetic. There were a lot of fine sparkles, and I attribute that to the break in process still. So I think I’m in the...

Actually I stated earlier in the thread that the “old container” was the empty 5 liter jug of FRESH oil I had poured into the engine after the drain plug was reinstalled. But furthermore, the oil was drained into a brand new pan then poured into the 5 liter jug. So no, my container was not...

Yes, the dealer told me if it ever needs an engine or transmission it’s 100 dollar deductible. As long as the title stays in my name it’s covered. But it’s a bummer I threw a livernois tune on it the day before I changed the oil. Maybe if they if they don’t dig deep It would still get covered. I...

Of course it is. Just a little surprising as I’ve done hundreds of oil changes and have never seen anything like it. Even a few first oil changes. If it was some sort of premature wear from something then what’s done is done. I’ll have to take a look at the next oil change and empty the filter...

6 or seven splinters that were at least 1/4” long. They curly one I described was maybe 1/2”. I’m not too worried about it, just figured I’d ask around to see if anybody else experienced the same thing.

yes, I drained the filter into the same pan. Makes sense it came from the filter. I’ve had a few built motor cars but never came across big pieces of metal on initial oil changes. I didn’t get all of the oil out of the filter though. After I got paranoid I went back and drained the remaining...

Damn, I may need to do those fluids as well. Lol the oil was drained into a brand new pan. Then poured it into the new 5 quart jug that was left over after I poured the new oil in. So I don’t think it is contaminated with anything foreign. I guess if the next oil change has that much in it I’ll...

Today I changed my oil at 2800 miles and as I was transferring the oil to an old container I saw what appeared to be quite a bit of metal in the oil. Splinters of aluminum, tiny little copper flakes, and even a curled piece like chips from a lathe. I’d assume there must’ve been some in the pan...

Ill try and get some photos tomorrow, I plan on re-doing the hood because there are some spots that I over worked on the edges, along with some water bubbles that I couldn’t get out and had to pop with a needle. I didn’t stretch the material enough when I first applied it so there was a lot of...

I applied some bodyfence PPF today. It is much harder than it looks. I bought 5ft X30ft so I can wrap the most vulnerable areas.

I got my tunes yesterday but hadn’t Gotten a chance to load one. I loaded the 91-93 tune this morning and I am incredibly impressed...actually speechless when I first drove it. I experienced no hard shifting after loading the tune, in fact it felt how it should have always shifted. After a...

Sent my stock tune in yesterday. Hopefully Monday I get my new one. I assume turn around time might be a little longer than 48 hours. Regardless, Im excited to test it out! I also own a built motor STi, and have put an ungodly amount of money into it to make a reliable 400whp and 455wtq...
