Dirty gritty drained oil when I did the oil change today

You more I read this thread—the more I cringe. Your dealership was personally notified of the issue while you were there, and they want you to take an oil sample?

You more I read this thread—the more I cringe. Your dealership was personally notified of the issue while you were there, and they want you to take an oil sample? I say to take it back to your dealership and have them assess the situation. Why? Nothing worse than an engine seizure/failure (they never happen when and where it is convenient), and why subject yourself, passenger, and other drivers to what might potentially become a life/safety issue? Take your receipts for the oil and oil filter you purchased along with the date and mileage you changed your oil; take along the photographs you have posted here for further evidence. Why the dealership did not request that they examine the car versus having you take an oil sample is beyond common sense. Find another dealership if necessary. Way the hell too much second-guessing going on here...it's not healthy for you or your Z.
