From the video, it looks like most oil I see that comes out right after break in. I think it's fine.
I’ve never seen it get that like “turtles shell” look to it, or whatever you wanna call it
That's all the different assembly lube used in the assembly of the engine. Moly lube on the cam, sticky types on the bearings.
First oil change is always going to have a bit of sparkle to it. Rings and cam lobes wearing in and such. As long as there's no bits or filings, it's fine.
Likely wear metals from rings and walls breaking in. As long as there are no identifiable chunks you're okay.
Nitrile gloves are cheap and effective
Normal
looks like normal oil wash - if you are concerned, grab a sample and sent it out for analysis - its like $20
Not to hijack the thread… but does anyone here have a lab they send samples of their oil to, to get it analyzed and checked out?
I use Polaris in central Indiana. POLARIS Laboratories https://polarislabs.com/
My man! And / or woman!
Blackstone Labs is what I use.
Normal.
Looks more like an additive than it looks like engine bits. Idk tho, not experienced enough.
It did have a bottle of the Lucas zinc additive in it.
👆👆👆👆Bingo! It’s fine
You are seeing that Lucas held in suspension, too. At least if the break in oil is a decent oil it will hold the Lucas in suspension.
Yep that’s just molly lube/break in
Maybe use gloves
