Ok... as promissed... here is what I found on the end of my UUC oil drain plug. This is after about 7K kms of use. What I found was really just a fine metalic dust. Actually I was expecting more ferret metal particles - from my VW days. I think this just proves that frequent OCI has gotten rid of alot of metal particles from my engine. This was my fifth oil change in 24K miles(total).


here is what I found....

UUC oil drain plug untouched - just removed from oil pan...


a closer look - untouched...


the silver stuff on the paper towel is the matal collected on the end of the magnetic drain plug.


all cleaned up!
