But unfortunately, those shavings on an LS7 drain plug are not.Ask yourself, why did GM stop supplying mag drain plugs from the factory? Maybe we can get that question in, I mean, if we can waste time asking about "advancements" in C7 tail light design
anything should be on the table.

Cliffs:
AMP inspects C6 for sale at dealership, pulls dealership employees away to look at their trade-in. Other AMP employee dumps shavings into oil filter of car while alone with C6, tries to negotiate reduced price on car. Everything caught on video. Later claims it was all a "joke" lol

I hate to be the contrarian but I used to think this was normal. On my last Z06 it was like that or worse on two separate motors. On my current Z06 I get nothing like that and hardly anything more than minor sludge. I have always had magnetic plugs and I check very closely every 3K miles. My last car was raced (HPDE) regularly and this one only see AutoX so that might be a factor. But obviously you don't need to be a rocket scientist to see that those shavings are coming from some ferrous source in the motor and it would be BETTER if nothing was on the plugs.
