Hi guys, bought this snowblower the other week and I finally got around to draining out the oil. Old old was black and I did 3-4 short oil changes with some old 10w-30 to get the crud out of the engine. After the second drain I noticed a lot of metal particles in the oil. Not sure how old the engine is. Should I be concerned that somethings going to fail, or am I being paranoid?
The oil drain tube is a pain as well. Its only 5 inches long and hard to get vice grips on the end near the drain cap. I got it out and used red loctite and let it dry overnight and it still came out yesterday on the last oil change.
