Oil and Swarf
« on: June 24, 2007, 06:27:33 PM »
I emptied the tray I use for oil changes today, it still had the oil from when I changed the oil after the sump plug had been helicoiled and I was mortified to see how much swarf was in the bottom - better than being in the engine I suppose. So I change the oil again this afternoon and whilst there was still a small amount I wasn't too troubled. I opted for halfords 20/50 so we will see how she gets on with that. I find using multigrades that she gets tinny sounding much sooner than the recommended change interval but a quick change and all is well. Thanks to everyone who advised me to drop the oil again the advice was spot on
