small parts found in engine oil

[Mick]

i just dumped my oil in my r33 gtst and in the bottom of the oil drain pan i was using i found 2 small metal pieces that do stick to a magnet, they dont really look like anything, but i will show you a pic and see if anyone knows what they may be from, i made sure the pan was clean before i dumped the oil in it so its definatly from inside my engine

Could be anything !
As for small lol ... They are more like meteorites !

Bet you wished you'd changed your oil more regularly !

Good luck .

Could be anything , but I'd say they're the guts from your lifters .

Hard to tell from the pics but they look like gravel; that makes me think they've been churned up by something.

Any noises from the engine?

Did you do the last oil change?

[Mick]

yeah i did the last oil change as well and the funnel i use has a filter mesh in it so dont know what it could be. They do look like gravel or meteorites lol, i could sell them as small iron meteors haha
The oil was so old it was making the lifters tick so bad i thought the car was on its last legs, but i use nulon engine oil flush and ran it for 20mins and dumped it straight away, then i put a new oil filter and cheap 10w40 semi synthetic in it, i used cheap stuff cos i wana run it for a week and then dump it and put some good stuff in it just to chean it better so i know its all good

Well that explains your ticking sound!!!! 

New oil ain't gunna fix that :(.

[Mick]

actually i am very very lucky, the car got quieter and quieter and now it sounds like a brand new engine, no lifter noise at all. Dont know what those small parts are but doesnt seem to be effecting the engine, the car hasnt run this good in years
