Oil Question
Hello, I have a 2013 SS with the LS3 motor. Bought the car with 27K original miles and it's in mint condition (inside and out). I bought it with long tubes and a cold air intake. That's all it has. Everything else is stock.
I bought it in another state and drove 400 miles to bring it home. It drove like a total champ. Oil pressure was perfect. No issues to report. It does have HF cats on the LTH and they are clamp on style. I do notice hissing and exhaust noise and suspect they're leaking a little. I do not have ticking in the engine bay other than the usual/normal valvetrain noise.
As I always do when I get a new car, I drained the oil and put it new oil and a filter. However, I noticed two very tiny metal hairs on the dipstick. I thought maybe the dipstick scraped the tube but to be safe, I cut the old filter I took off in half and inspected the paper inside. Nothing to report but maybe 5 super tiny specs of reflective flakes (dots really).
Am I good? There was no metallic swirl in the oil or pieces of metal. Just the two tiny hairs on the dipstick and the 5 super tiny spots in the filter.
I have great oil pressure and no issues to report... motor only has 27K miles.
