Changed oil today. I have what appears to be very small aluminum (shiny) flakes in the inside pleats. Very small pieces, reminds me of glitter, size wise. Not a ton of it but some in almost every pleat. Just wondering how abnormal/normal is it to find this?
Little background. Fresh rebuild of the engine. Probably about 200 miles on it. Oil was M1 5w30 and Motorcraft filter. Builder told me to switch to conventional for break in, he says for 8-10K miles. I switched to Havoline 10w30. That probably doesn't matter to the question, just filling in what I am doing. Engine is a 5.4 Ford, supercharged.
So is this normal, or am I in trouble and have to do this over? Thanks.
