Well, the remarks on my report lead me to believe that losing some copper is just part of the normal break-in process. Now, we're assuming those flecks in your oil are copper, but we don't know for 100% sure, do we? In any case, if they are indeed chunks of copper, it may indicate that something has gone terribly wrong as far as your break-in goes. How many miles do you have on your engine? Did you follow the break-in process in the manual?
