Does the glitter stick to a magnet?.... magnetic= iron (bearings and steel walled cylinders or crankshaft/crank gears) no sticky means = Aluminum rod or aluminum case material or aluminum cylinder material... If it is REAL glitter, It may have came off your hands after touching that stripper at the club..... Good Luck, Friiy

Good Luck, Friiy I'll try to assess the glitter origin after a few more oil changes to diagnose potential problems. I assume after some use and oil changes, the glitter will be flushed out and won't see anymore new particles. If the real glitter came from touching stripper at the club, that's a lot glitter and I'm sure I won't have time to post here or snowblow the driveway. :) In any case, I have no recollection of such activity, Senator!

AA335, If you don't change your oil so often then you may not see any glitter. If you see glitter later, what are you going to do, ask for your money back? I know you are in love with your 441Q so if it is a true love then you will love that Toro whether she spits more glitter out next time or a year later. We will cross that bridge when we get there. In retrospect I should have a pre-nup stating that blowing is mandatory, glitter not acceptable. Seriously, if I still see glitter and it's still working the same or better than new, I will put the issue behind me. I still have the factory warranty in case the engine blows up. It's not like I am plagued with OCD. And it's not like Toro will deny my warranty for changing oil more often than recommended.
