what to do, something fell into oil filler

Barry Bordes · 03-08-2008, 07:41 AM

My bushings are steel/magnetic. The gold coating is a treatment on the cadium plating. Fish it out or put a magnetic drain plug in and just run it till the next oil change. It can't go through the oil pickup screen.
The only fear about leaving it in the pan would be on high g-load braking you might slush it foward all the way up to the oil pump chain! Highly unlikely.
My thoughts,
Barry
