White rubber pieces found at 1st oil change
At my first oil change the old oil contained few little pieces of whitw rubber. Called dealer who said was normal. Is silicone they use when they assembel the engine. Has anyone hurd of this?

The real issue should be how MUCH? A little is nothing. It's part of the case sealant. I had a little when I did my first oil change at about 6200 miles.

Engine assemblers wear white rubber gloves. He must've left it in there after his cellphone argument with the wife re his bar tab...
Hhmmmm.... maybe the same white stuff found on Formula 1 Ferrari's...
