Man these results are concerning me. I didn't see anything in the oil drain pan to indicate increased wear. Cut the filter open, didn't see anything either.
What should I be looking for? Don't even know where to start. Could it possibly be left over aluminum from the machining process?
I also don't know why the flashpoint would be that low...
The only other thing I could think of is, two weeks or so before I did this oil change I had an experience I never had with this car before. In the parking lot after work, I cranked the engine and it sounded like it was having a really hard time, barely catching on. Once it started I drove to the gas station, filled up, then when I went to turn it back on, nothing. I tried again and I heard what sounded like some kind of grinding or sliding? I turned the ignition back to off, then on and start and then it started up completely like normal. I thought this was at most an issue with the starter and wouldn't affect the oil.
