From a purely logical standpoint, the fact that there are metal shavings in the oil from the first oil change does not in itself disprove what he's saying. The oil that is drained during the first oil change is the original factory-fill oil, right? So those metal shavings could just as easily be from the first engine fire-up and test stand shakedown. I'm not saying I agree with what Kannibul is saying, mind you. I'm just pointing out that the logic isn't quite airtight here. It's not like the dealership changes the oil upon taking delivery of the vehicle, thereby draining out all the factory-fill (at least not that I'm aware of).
