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?https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e058c6b77f.jpg

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!

:roflpuke2::inoutroflpuke::roflpuke2::inoutroflpuk e::roflpuke2: 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. :rofl2:

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

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. :rofl2:

He’s getting ready to do that 23 and me on his car. DNA sample being sent to the black stone lab.

Lol @ the one time I have a serious question and vtec to vvel hijacks the thread like a Somali pirate.

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
