last year I bought a 99 ls1 f body with 68k. I put about 3k miles on it and changed the oil once . Can’t remember exactly but I didn’t notice anything wrong with the oil. A few months ago I put a tsp cam kit in the car . It sat for awhile and only got driven 100 miles so I just changed the oil. The oil is flakey and flakes were on the drain plug . Small flakes in the filter as well no pieces anywhere . Oil pressure is also perfect . I’m gonna change the oil in another 100 miles and see what it’s like . Should I be concerned about this ??

if you have an LED flashlight,, hold it by the camera pointed from about a 45 degree angle to the oil, I find for engine pics a steady light source works better than letting the camera flash do its thing..
