feels watery almost watery, but no grit and in the sun it looks like it may have shards but I believe it was from the old chain but I did a oil change right after changing it.
I don't expect oil to be perfectly clean.... not in the high mileage motors I drive...... and one oil change won't clean out any detritus that was left over from some other problem..... If the oil makes you nervous, change it again, and use 'better' oil? Change the filter again too.....
That's not stock...... Generally, they get pretty hot, and any paint on them just doesn't last long..... Wonder if someone changed in hoping to fix the problem?
