However, I did a crappy job of cleaning (or there's new build-up) because I pulled my dipstick today and see there's still (gray) stuff on it near the edge around the low oil marker. Sorry the phone photo doesn't look great.
Someone else I know with a new GR86 shared with me that his dipstick has similar crud on it and he's still in his break-in period of <1,000 miles. Not sure what to make of it yet, but the dipstick should not have this foreign material on it. |
