Metal on drain plug
Just did the second oil change on my 2015 f3 that I bought new 3 months ago. When I did the first oil change there was tons of metal onot the magnetic drain plug. So now that it has 13500 miles time for the second and the same thing. Is anyone seeing this.20161013_180220.jpg

My engine is a 2014 and the oil changes at 7,359 and 14,100 total miles showed no such particles on the transmission plug magnet. I put Dimple plugs in at the 14K change and am particularly interested to see what will be on the crankcase drain plug at the next change that is due in about 1K.
Artillery lends dignity to what would
otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

Looks bad, there must be something not normal. I hope its just left over dirt but you need to be vigilant. You should let the dealer and show this evidence. Good luck.

I also have a 1330 engine .... first change was at 2200 and had some metal but not as bad as yours..... have done five and not really very noticeable except for that first one. My last three had the Gold plugs....... Mike

I had the same thing on my two oil changes on my 2015 F3. I don't think it'd out of the ordinary. Is yours a SM6 or SE6? Mine's a SM6.

According to the BRP parts lists for the 2014 and 2015 1330 engines, the part number for the crankcase drain plug, 420441681, is the same for both engines and there is no magnet in that plug. The only magnet is in the clutch cover, a.k.a. transmission, drain plug. That's one of the reasons why some folks switch to Dimple or Gold Plug brand plugs because there is a magnet in each plug in addition to the plugs having hex heads.

Magnet???
I agree--- way to much metal. Try a magnet on the metal in the filter. Non magnetic, brass tinted metal may be bearings, Magnetic may be gears.
Get it to the dealer, PLEASE DON'T LET HIM TELL YOU " THEY ALL DO THAT". Hope BRP honors its warrenty.

Update
Dropped the spyder off at the shop just before Christmas. The shop is 120 miles away so it can be a little cold and snowy in December in Ohio!! I was not going to give up one day of nice weather so that is way I did not take it right in. I gave them the oil filter that I kept and showed them the pictures. The shop was a couple weeks behind so I hope to hear back in a week or so!
