Suggestion
Considering how much of the engine internals are non-ferrous, dump the oil filter housing oil into a clean drain pan and check that out.

i did use techron for the last tank of gas before the oil change and found that the oil came out much darker than usual.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5000 Miles already. Wow... I cant believe it.. I feel like I have hardly driven in..... I have to do the oil this weekend. Courious to see the magnetic drain plug
Considering how much of the engine internals are non-ferrous, dump the oil filter housing oil into a clean drain pan and check that out.
Sincerely,
Macster.
Yeah,, sadly I know this and that drain plug is only going to catch things that really shouldnt be coming apart....... Thanks for the tip, Ill let you know how it goes
i had the ln engineering magnetic plug put in during last fall's oil change. when i changed the oil this spring i found nothing on the plug. i also cut open the filter and found nothing.
your post reminded me that i never took a picture or posted it.
i did use techron for the last tank of gas before the oil change and found that the oil came out much darker than usual. maybe the techron worked?
I think I only put in on the road on late Feb this year.
I am going to check the miles as compared to Mile markers on the road.
Here is why i have wondered if the mileage was not right, as in High for what it actually is.
The pads on the pedals are not warn at all
The seats look like 60K miles seats not 110,000 mile seats
The Paint chips are more 60-70K
The car is in remarkable shape... Ya know how the door latch hooks get oxidized and yucky looking? Mine are like brand new.
The car is really tight no rattles.
It just doesnt seem like a 110,000 mile car and i sure dont feel like I drove it 5K miles
I miss my 996
but love the 86'
Wish I could have too - the wierd thing is I normally dont remember dreams but last night I dreamed I was driving a 928 ??? I dont even want to know what that means
put mobile 1 in this time. Nothing to speak of on the drain plug. Just some very VERY fine hair looking stuff.. and not even enough to really bother mentioning. Nothing in filter
