I just changed my oil earlier today and after I poured out all my oil. At the bottom of the container had very tiny metallic specs. It can only be seen in direct sunlight. Is this normal? I was running motul 10w40 with about 3k miles and 3 track events. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

 

not normal, drop your pan

 

To clarify the specs are more like dust, if that helps

 

Use snips and cut your filter open to see if there is any more evidence. Also run the oil through a paint strainer. If any of the pieces are large enough see if they can be picked up with a magnet. This will narrow down what type of metal it is. Regardless i would keep a close ear on the engine and do another oil change in 1k miles and recheck to be safe.

 

might be worth getting a company like blackstone labs or similar to run an oil analysis.
