Metallic looking oil

Currently have super super fine metallic pieces in oil so small they are unmeasurable, the filter doesn’t have anything measurable in it either. Was curious if cam/lifter wear could cause that, haven’t had chance to take valve covers off yet.

Send it to Blackstone for an oil analysis. Contact them and they will send you a kit with a bottle for the oil. The report they come back to you with is very detailed.

That’s what I was afraid of, I’m guessing since it so small I caught it fairly early. Ordered a kit to send to black stone to see what it says before I start the endeavor of pulling the engine.

Use a magnet to check if what you see is a trick of the light or metallic particles.
