That is a lot of copper. To me, it looks like you're losing bearing material. I would be concerned that your motor is toast.
I would run a quick 50 miles on it then bring the car to the dealer for inspection. Last edited by LaSeeno; 03-12-2010 at 05:01 PM. |

regardless of what the car is supposed to tell you, you're supposed to check your oil regularly. And if a car is low on oil, by a quart or whatever, won't do any damage like a bone dry engine would.
