Change Oil Sooner than Later Slag Looking Stuff On My A Arms ??

[Rcantoys]

Changed my oil with only 900 miles
Looks Green but it Might just be The Oil they use in Mexico
Also went with the Larger FL-10 filter
Hopefully it looks Better next Change
Probably around 3000 miles I don't drive it daily being Retired
Also I don't know if Anyone noticed or Has this
But when I took the undersheild down on the rear part of my A arms it looked like little Peices of rubber
But after trying to Rud them off it feels like Splatter from welding
Just wondering if Anyone else Noticed that on Their vehicle
Hope I can Post pictures of that

It’s normal from the casting. All my trucks have had those little spots somewhere on the chassis. Green oil seems like the norm too for the first oil change too. All looks well to my eyes.

One of the better oils for classic cars was BradPenn (no longer available). It was also green as that was the color it came out of the ground. There is still a lot of oil production in the Bradford PA area and it is my understanding that this oil is prized for lubrication applications so it's possible your oil has a similar start in life.

Looks Green...

The break-in oil is tinted green.
The break-in filter is tiny.
900 miles is probably a bit early, but certainly didn't hurt anything to change it.

Break in oil is green as it has a leak dye in it to test in assembly.

This is the new plant based oil the industry is switching to. (Spinach to be exact). Ive been making my own with my nutri-bullet, every 5000 miles.

Did my first oil change at 5k and it didn’t look green. It was dark though. Yeah that Mexican oil is just as bad as the water lol
