Drain plug before cleaning:

Drain plug after cleaning:


The stuff on the plug looked metallic, like a bunch of little shavings. Sorry i couldn't get a better picture, i such with the camera in getting it to focus on certain things.

The stuff in here had a gold'ish color to it. Specially the stuff that come out of the filter. It's just a normal ACDelco filter i think.

Tire with strange wear:

Any idea how this could have been done? Seem like part of the outside of the tire has different wear from other places on the circumference of it. Although i'll be rotating/replacing these prbly within the next 1000/6000 miles.

Thanks!

is that a front tire? if so you need a wheel alignment

I figured as much, but look at the tread on the left side of the picture on the outside, versus what you can see on the right side of the picture on the outside. Shouldn't that wear bad the same on the whole tire?

Seems to me with oil oil situation looks like youre motor oil change was left lil to long or cheap motor oil, Look like u got alot of engine wear, Also could be from flooring it, Ive had that happen in one of my other cars due to crap oil, Could need oil treatment needed, On every oil change will correct it.

Look luck.

a oil treatment isn't going to crap for an already hurt motor. On my 2200 that has 135,000 on it now i get fine metal shavings, kind of like powder. That on your plug looks a lil worse. Also in the oil pan is that chuncks of metal or air bubbles? Can't really tell since the pics aren't the greatest and the light might be hitting the air bubbles making um shine.

If it is chunks you have some serious problems. Also on your tire wear i have noticed if i don't rotate my 225/45/r17 tires they will wear on the outside from flying around turns. Is it only one tire on the front or both? If it is one i would have to say your camber is out on that wheel. If both i would say your toe and maybe a lil out on the camber.
