| At the first oil change in my new 2006 gmc sierra, i found pieces of metal (assembly from the engine) attached to the magnetic drain bolt. such is usually symptomatic of a defective bearing or something. no problem as of yet with the vehicle, but registering this observation. for record purposes. the attendant at the place where i got the oil changed said my vehicle was the fourth one he's observed with the same kind of metal pieces. *tr | |||
