Yeah those are flakes suspended in the oil. It's oil that I poured out of the filter after taking it off of the car. The car has been sitting but I did start it and move it before changing the oil.
The engine has about 37k miles on it. I've taken it to two HPDE events. I the oil looked worse after the second event than it did after the first. I figured some metal particles in the oil would be normal but I just don't know how much is normal.
Hi everyone,I recently did a HPDE event. I changed the oil and I found what looks like a lot of bearing material in the oil. Admittedly, I don't really know what is a lot and what is normal so I figured I'd ask the forum. I have attached some pictures. Ambient temperature at the event was...
This has been some interesting conversation. Thanks everyone for taking the time to comment. I took Grant 302's advice and talked to a Ford Performance tech. He said to absolutely use 5w50 for my application even though my stock engine 2012 track pack GT calls for 5w20. So I'm going to go with a...
