The engine in ?: 4.3L V6 from GM
The Oil in ?: Chevron Delo 400 15w-40
So the engine has almost 130,000 miles and is about 6 years old. Nice running engine and I've used 10w-30 penzoil it's whole life with no issues. 4 months ago i complete 2 ARX treatments for fun ~~~ anyways I put 4.5 qts of 15w-40 Delo in to just see how it runs with it. Only thing I notice was a smoother sounding engin however now it's time to change the oil about 3000 miles later and I notice something in my oil I've never notice before. Metal particals ~~~ and very seeable metal particals at that
So now i'm wondering if this a oil related issue or is something going wrong in side of that engine. I thot about this winter running 5w-20 for kicks and could use any advice on that as well.
Anyways I was gonna use this truck for another 1 or 2 years before getting a new truck or car but it needs to hold till then lol.
