Yep, the Mobil 1 is one of the better ones, along with the Wix, Purolator and basically anything that comes out of Champion Labs.

I can't think of what would be copper in color coming out with the oil. Rust color yeah, and unfortunately seen oil come out with some of the coolant color in it (can you say "bye-bye" engine, LOL), but not copper. But a paste-like consistency? Normal wear? I can't think of anything in the engine that would give off a paste-like consistency through normal wear...

 

Yeah, i cant think of anything either. I know bronze color would be major bearing wear and silver color is bad metal to metal contact. But i cannot figure out the copper color. I did a search on other forums for "copper colored paste in oil" and found it mentioned mainly on motorcycle forums as excessive wear from the clutch. But clearly that is not going on in my Hemi. Other car forums have said "It's just normal wear". And if that is that case, i will not worry i guess. But it still makes me wonder, what the hell creates copper colored paste? Next oil change i do ill take pictures of this stuff.

 

Why don't you simply get one of those pre-paid oil analysis kits, send it out and wait for the results instead of guessing what it is?!? If you have any of the old oil left, that is. You don't want to "load up" the sample bottle with the paste though. Normally, you drain some oil out, take a sample, then finish draining the oil. Kinda like a "clean catch" urine sample for the doctor. This is the ONLY way you will really know 100% for sure what it is.
