When you change the oil and filter, cut open the filter and let us know if you see any debris. Some people report a lot of metalic particles in the filter after the first oil change. It would just be nice to know what you find in the filter. Maybe some gasket material? Oh, and what kind of oil are you using? Brand and weight. Oh, and what type of filter too.

Thanks
