RE: Metal shavings found on primary plug magnet
That is common on the 1st 1000 miles, it should almost disapper after that. I would however not go as long as the manual on your fluids, especially during the summer. I change my crankcase at 3000 miles, primary at 6000, and transmission at 12000. I am running at the rate of about 12000 miles per year. I also switched to Mobil 1 V-Twin SYN 20W-50 in crankcase and primary and Mobil 1 Syn Gear Oil 75w-90 in the transmission. I started doing that at about 4000 miles, the next change after the 1000 mile checkup.

pretty standard to find some material in the oil during break in. misc. engine building debree, casting flash from the block. you name it. you should see what we find in the oil on bmw's at work. first oil change is at about 15000 miles on them.

Ok then, thanks guys. I was wondering, because there were some nice sized pieces of metal on that magnet. I ended up using mobil 1 synt in all three holes. I still here some crazy noises coming from the Primary side at random times, but I'm still not sure what it might be. It usually comes in the form of high pitch buzzing. It has done it twice.
