Just observed during oil change. No noises. Runs fine. I cut open every filter.
Back in June I saw what looked like small bits of aluminum foil. I reached out to the builder and they said meh it’s probably wearing. I sent a sample to blackstone and it came back fine. 2k miles later I decided to check again and found same material in the filter. Neither time was the oil full of particles. Fast forward to now and I find this mess. So once again I contacted them and they agreed I need to bring it. No idea what has happened but it’s going to the shop that built it this week. Yes they have a warranty as long as it’s what they built that has gone wrong. If it’s turbo or balance shafts (why?) they won’t cover. Doubtful it’s turbo related as it drives and spools great.
When I picked up the motor from them I inquired about specific oils and was told it didn’t really matter. Other than the initial Motul break in oil I’ve been running liquimoly 5w-40.
