Oil change - new filter - should I be concerned

[steptoe]

that is why mine doesn,t go near a shop,,
 considering the centre can be persuaded out,, you wouldn,t know till it went bang or the rear tyre was covered in oil,,

poor form that, poor form

This is what a mechanic thought my sump plug should look like...





Great macro shots too.  I like macro shots.

I didn't make anywhere near that effort.

no fellows - and the crunchy gear change was Bourke and back....all good now
I am not too worried frankly

[Jonesy]

for a motor thats well and truly run in I'd be concerned too, maybe do another oil change at 1/2 the interval you usually do and see if your still making glitterand swarf in your oil......besides the clunky gearchanges I suppose you havent got anything else you can pin it on?  have you?

[steptoe]

that,s a lot of big metal for a cluncky gear change ,, how much of anything is in the bottom of filter housing

that looks like an awful lot of work to photgraph one sump plug

[AussiXS11G]

this is the sump plug....... bit of a concern 'till I remembered that I had made the new throttle cable a tad SHORT making idle too fast and gear changes a bit crunchy to Bourke and back - all better now






here's how we got the shot
