Default debris in my oil

hey guys,
when I added the motor oil , a little bit of debris/dirt fell in the funnel. should I be worried? will the oil filter catch it? it's mainly dirt and really not much of it.

Well it's not good, but the filter should take care of it. I wouldn't worry about it. Next time make sure everything is clean around the oil cap before you pull it off and then it's always a good idea to use a good clean funnell as well.

Should be fine as long as it doesn't look like anything too crazy. If you want extra piece of mind, send a sample to Blackstone. $25 well spent...

it'll be find. To ensure that nothing gets into the oil as im pouring it in, I don't use a funnel; just tilt the bottle to the side and pour slowly. We are men...its not that hard to aim haha
