Flecks of metal in gear oil!
My wife and I are currently in Buenos Aires and this morning I changed the gear oil (1998 bmw 1100gs with 90000 km, last changed the oil about 12000 km ago). I noticed that the magnetic drain plug was covered with grey paste. In addition, there were very fine flecks of metal on the plug (also in the oil).
Is this a major issue or can we head down to Ushuaia?
Thanks,
Brian
