A member of my family picked up a 2020 model year Polo with the 1.0 3cyl motor. Despite not being my first choice of vehicle. I do quite like how the motor sounds and behaves. Bought from the dealer with approx 500 miles on the odometer (demonstrator vehicle).
The car then went in for an oil change at the dealer at 3000 miles (though, I do wonder whether they actually did it, as the oil wasn't as clean as it could be when I checked the dip stick).
Fast forward to yesterday, I completed an oil change on the vehicle (4500 miles on vehicle, 1500 miles on oil) for peace of mind, being relatively unsure about what the dealer has/has not done.
Attached image shows the metal flakes in the oil. There were a few 'larger' flakes (though I wouldn't call them 'chunks' and a little bit of glitter throughout the oil. Image is just what came out of the sump, not what came out of the oil filter.
Any thoughts on this? I'm aware that wear metals are generally higher for the first few changes; I'm just surprised with what I saw.
Appreciate the input.
For those interested, Edge 5w30 LL was used per the VW spec.
