Little schmear of metal after oil change

I have the Z1 oil drain plug with the magnet on the tip. Smeared the end on my glove after dumping the oil and that shiny schmear is the result.

Default Little schmear of metal after oil change

I have the Z1 oil drain plug with the magnet on the tip. Smeared the end on my glove after dumping the oil and that shiny schmear is the result. Normal-ish?

Oil is redline 5W30. Changed at 2,819 miles on an engine w 29,819 miles on the odometer. Mobil1 oil filter.

Grabbed a sample for Blackstone from this oil change and am shipping it out tonight. Also - can I just drop the container Blackstone provided in a mailbox or do I need to go into the post office?

Please do not take this the wrong way and I mean no disrespect at all, but you’re a dude? I never bothered to check your public profile and based on your username, I thought you were a chick. My bad!

:inoutroflpuk e: was it the size of the hands or the wrist hair that gave it away!?

No offense taken. Last time I checked, I was male. All 6'4", 255 lbs. of me.

For clarity's sake, the Z's name is Betty. License plate even says so.

Thought you was using the rubber gloves for an anal probing. With what is on them.

My bad man lol. Even Rusty was confused - that’s why he’s laughing lol.

As far as the metal schmear, was it just that or more on the drain bolt?

I hope I'd remember to change gloves between an oil change and checking some robot prostate.

For that small amount of metal, I wouldn't get too worried about it. I'd put it on the keep-an-eye-on-it-for-a-while-maybe-do-the-next-oil-change-a-little-early list. Or get a UOA if I were the type to worry. Your analysis report should tell you all you need to know.

Honestly I always wondered the same thing but was a little scared to ask. At one point he made a joke that made it clear he was a guy. I'm glad it's not just me.

He has some of the funniest posts tho
