my '03 magnum 330 had a very noticeable amount of metal in the first oil drain. for what its worth, maybe nothing, the 700 did not.

 

Nothing to worry about, that is why you change the oil right away after the reccomended time.....it should be fine

 

its a polaris... for some reason more metal comes out than oil when you change it for the first time.

 

Lot's of close tolerance parts flying around inside a 4 stroke. Take your time and break 'em in easy, they'll pay you back with a lot of fun riding time. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

What did the metal look like? Did it look like super fine glitter? Could you feel it if you rubbed it between your fingers? Was it tiny chips? Curls? All three? Was it magnetic? How dark was the oil when you changed it?

 

It was only on the first oil change on my previous quad, and I did not try to figure out if it was Al or Fe. I was pleasantly surprised that the American designed and built Liberty engine on the 700 seemed to have better quality control.

On another note, my dealer does not seem to have '04.5 parts lists yet. He sold me the wrong oil filter the first time around.
