You know what, I could hear a rattle afterwards that nearly sounded like the chain which I've never had an issue with.
I think it's gone now which leads me to believe it was just sucking all the oil up to every single crevice.
If I could go back I probably wouldn't use it but considering I dropped the sump and cleaned everything down I'm not afraid of any lasting issues.

I hope you didn't mind me saying so mate. What I'd do for peace of mind and if it were my mistake as I know this sh** is still in the engine thinning the oil and breaking it down is renew the oil but you've used expensive stuff so not sure you're willing to give it a go or take the rust :surprised:
lukemk5gti:
To be honest, I'd say I've stripped 99% of it out since I did in fact take the sump off at the time.
I'll change the oil again in 5,000 miles so she'll be ok until then!
r5gtt:
It's just a thought mate and for the protection of your engine :smiley:
Hope you don't run into issues :happy2:
