One of my friend have a 2003 Rx-1 with almost 20 000 km, we were doing is oil change yesterday and we found a lot of aluminium in oil, oil looked like a metallic paint when looking at it with fluorescent light. Very small aluminium (i guess, does'nt glue to the magnet) parts. Its the first time we and i looked at oil directly when it fall down from the oil tank. After 1 min, oil looked nice all part in the bottom.
Oil have 3000 km or more i guess. Color is green-black-brown, does'nt look like an overdue oil, not really black.
His motor is running really strong, rev like new, idle like new, no sound except a loose exhaust donut when cold.
Is this '' fairly normal'' for a almost 20 000 km engine with 05 ring put at 8500 km

I would say that its fairly normal for any engine to have some very fine metallic particles suspended in the oil. As good of an engine as it is, there will always be *some* wear.
