I just did the first oil change on my Procharger. The oil used is the oil that came with the kit from ATI. I had 600 miles on the oil. As required by ATI I did the first change. The oil was thin as vodka and had a very grey (metal particle saturated) look to it. The magnetic drain plug was completly grey with fine, dust sized metal particles. Is this normal on a first oil change?

The first oil change is a break-in period. During a break-in, fine particles from the initial wear may be in the oil. This is why they tell you to change it after the first 500 miles when you start using it.

It works quite effectively.

But what about the little metal flecks? Can you suck them out with this device? Also, you can't clean them off of the magnetic plug with this device either.
Yes Max, time is money but the first one took me like 45 mins. and the second was only about 25 (learning curve).
