This is the 3000k inspection that Ford does but I dont believe they change the oil, unless you changed it or had it done and if not the original oil has been in it.Also if you did change it at 3000k, then now 13000k is a touch long I think for these cars even with the high quality oils. Some boys doing every 5000k, me 7,500k cause im lazy and pay someone to do it.I.B.

PHANTMXR6 It's not a MKI! Member 1,742 Member For: 16y 10m 12d Gender: Male Location: Earth Posted 10/01/09 04:05 AM Share Posted 10/01/09 04:05 AM Any bits of anything in the oil is a sign of something going wrong.Especially if they are visible to the eye.If I were you I'd be making the dealer aware of what you found and show them.Sounds like something might go bang in the future and if you've got proof it came from inside the engine it might help a warranty claim later on.The service tech guys should be able to identify what the failing item is with the evidence you give them.
