My Motor Oil Is Glamorous

[Liz123]

Hi everyone. I just had my 1996 Dodge Neon SOHC's engine rebuilt. I changed the oil after 500 miles, and then again after 2,000 more miles. The first time I changed the oil I didn't look, but the second time I found thousands of very tiny metal shavings in the oil that made my oil look like glitter . I was wondering if this is normal with an engine rebuild. If so, what causes this? And when should it stop?

Thanks

Liz

It was probably water, not metal. Metal doesn't float for starters. I wouldn't worry too much about it.
