RGT Add pack fall out

[Drew7a]

I changed the oil on one of my vehicles last fall before I parked it for the winter. I Have a stash of RGT so used that and put about 100 miles or so before storage. A few weeks ago after over 6 months in storage, I decided to drive the vehicle but checked the oil first.

See the attached image. Oil was nice a clean as to be expected but it had like a dark graphite powder on the dipstick which is wiped of on the paper towel. I should have taken a picture of the dipstick.

Never experienced this with any oil before. Hopefully it just does not sit at the bottom of the pan after changing.

That looks like dirt from the oil dip stick, not the oil....notice its specifically not oily in some of those areas.

Looks normal to when I check.

Agree, one would guess that “fall out” would fall out. In any case the OP should get the engine to operating condition before draining.
