I changed my oil and filter at 400 miles. I have seen this before and always wonder what it is I am really looking at. The old oil seems to have a slight metallic sheen to it. It even seems to be made up of two dissimilar fluids that really do not like to mix in the drain pan. Some of it likes to float like froth on beer. (You know it is just beer but it is lighter in color and wants to just sit on top.) As I swirl the pan it does not want to mix together easily. What as I looking at? Is the slight metallic sheen on the first old change normal? The metal does not settle out when it sits. I think it is light metal like aluminum.
For those of you that want to know... I used Honda 10w30, and noticed no change in anything. I do not want to talk about that either.
Mate, I can add little by way of an informative response; but I have to hand it to you. Adroit cast, with an elegant flick of the wrist, landing the fly inches from the fish's nose. I've made myself a cup of tea and pulled up a chair to see how you get on.
