The air filter is new and clean. Yet after 3500 miles there was quite a bit of grit in the filter. Should I be concerned? Thanks Sidom Veteran / Moderator Jul 14, 2009, 10:10 AM Post #2 of 4 (3579 views) Re: Gritty Oil Sign In What is the year, make & model of the vehicle & how many orignal miles are on it and has it had any recent major repairs done?

This time maybe 1/3 teaspoon. black ovals were larger than sandy stuff.

Those pieces you smash between you fingers & they desinagrate. It's caused be going to long between oil changes or the engine running to cool for extend periods of time......   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
