This was for the first oil change on a used car I bought. I wonder why the aluminum stood out. The engine only had 21533 miles on it and when I did the oil change I thought I saw a few pieces of shiny metal in the oil, no shimmering oil, just a few specks.

Based on the CarFax it looks like this was the fourth oil change done on this car. If so I wonder if aluminum from machining could have remained.

The oil used by the dealer is a mystery as well as the interval it was in there for. Oil looked and smelled fine.

Replaced with Honda A01 and four quarts of PuP 0W-20.

Call a Honda dealership, give them the VIN and they would be able to tell you if it was serviced at a Honda dealership and if yes you can call them and see what oil they used.
