Hey guys. I changed my oil the other day and I am still seeing metal shavings. It looks like glitter in the oil and I am still seeing shavings on the oil plug magnet. This was the third oil change so I know I am past the break-in stage, or so I think. I did my first oil change after an hour of riding and my second after about 7 hours. Consequently, I was starting to use Mobil 1 0w-40 this time after about 10 hours and was having second thoughts because I don’t want to switch to synthetic until I am sure the motor is broken in. On the first and second oil changes, I used regular 10w-40. Any thoughts on what may be going on? Do I need to worry?

 

Looks like glitter, clutch shavings. Quite normal. Unless the Pred. has seperate tranny & engine oil, but I don't think they do. Every oil change you will see this, especially if you slip the clutch alot.

 

I agree with quadsnsleds........I also use the Mobile 1 0W-40.
