Did you mention to the dealer that you're still seeing gold bits?

Interesting that you bought from a dealer but still needed to service it yourself when you got it. Why didn't the dealer service it?

If your engine keeps producing gold, DO NOT SELL IT, OR COMPLAIN. Brass from a gearbox I could understand, but from an engine?
