    Still in break in period (800km on it now)
    Just checked the oil after thinking of a previous thread on here where someone was having their engine replaced because of too much metal in the oil.

    Curious would this be considered normal amounts for new engine?
    This is my first 'new' vehicle as I've never had to deal with a break in period since every previous vehicle was pre owned.

    I am planning on bringing it in around 2000km to get an oil change, trans fluid checked and the TSB for the delayed shift from R to D.
    I plan on keeping this truck till it dies so apologizes if I'm being a bit of a hypochondriac. Just trying to figure out if I should be bringing it in sooner rather than waiting another 1200KM20170128_150126.jpg 20170128_150155.jpg

    Looks normal, the thread you are talking about he was getting excessive amounts of metal every time they did his oil.
    The oil pictured above looks normal and barely broken in, color is good.
