[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 17040448, member: 70025"] Hello Everyone, Well, I changed the oil for the first time this weekend. I originally used Amsoil break-in oil and was told the break in period was 500 miles. Well, next month (May 2024) will make 2 years since I completed the build. The car has just over 300 miles on it. Figured now is as good a time as any LOL. Overall everything looked good. Only one surprise LOL. Got the car situated. [ATTACH type="full"]1838604[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]1838605[/ATTACH] I pulled the front and rear drain plugs. They both had what looked like "metal sludge" on the magnets. It was a little thicker than I liked, but since this was the first oil change I thought it was okay. [ATTACH type="full"]1838606[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]1838607[/ATTACH] Here is the clean plug for comparison. [ATTACH type="full"]1838608[/ATTACH] Even though the oil is dark (it went in red) it does not look metallic and when I drained the pan there were no chunks. Everything looks good here. [ATTACH type="full"]1838609[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]1838610[/ATTACH] Here is the surprise LOL. After removing the oil filter I found this piece sticking out. After further inspection it looks like an O-ring or a piece of RTV. Have no clue what it is exactly or where it could have come from. [ATTACH type="full"]1838611[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]1838612[/ATTACH] After I was finished draining the oil, I put the drain plugs back in and installed another FL-1A filter and lowered the car. I filled it up with Amsoil Z-Rod 10w-30. I fired it up and checked for leaks. No leaks. Gauge read 60PSI of oil pressure. Took it for a drive around the block. Checked for leaks again. No leaks. After the oil warmed up oil pressure dropped to 30PSI at idle, but would climb as I increased the RPM's. Overall, besides the chunk in the oil filter, I think everything looked good and went well. I will probably change the oil again around 5 or 600 miles to see what it looks like. I'm pretty sure there will be less "metal sludge" on the magnets next time. [/QUOTE]
