Honda PCX 125, metal shaving inside transmission oil
Posted: Wed Jul 22, 2020 1:35 pm
Hi. Thanks first for taking the time to read me. I have a Honda PCX, year 2019. It now has 5,000 KM. Recently on my own, I changed the transmission oil (the first one).
In the container where I drained the oil (I was curious) I saw that there was metal shaving. When I shined my flashlight on the old oil, it glowed like a bit of glitter. Other than that, I saw that there were very small pieces of metal, not many but there were. I don't know if this is normal for being the first transmission oil change, but it worries me a bit. The bike works perfectly and I do not notice anything strange, only that worries me because I do not think it is very normal that there are metal traces in the old oil.
I am writing to you because (the bike is guaranteed) I cannot go to the official dealer and tell them that I have changed the oil. In the manual it says that it is done every 2 years. What do you think?
I leave you the link to the images (you can download it if you want, and zoom it). Again, thank you very much for your time.
