'03 6.0L Escalade with 80,000 miles.
I just did oil change yesterday and I noticed some coppery color shiny particles (very fine powder like), on the bottom of the drain bucket as I was pouring old oil into anther jug. I would say about a 1/4 teaspoonful of them. Maybe some bearing material like main bearing? I bought the Esc with 74000 miles and this was the 2nd oil change since. I didn't see anything like that on the 1st change at 77000 miles.
Is this a common thing/problem on this engine?
Should I ditch this Esc before it gets worse?
