Any idea what this is?

Hi Razor,

It is a GM color used on many different vehicles from Corvettes to trucks until around 2012 or 2013. After that, GM replaced it with a slightly different red called Crystal Red Tint. It was available in both two and three stage configurations - I went with two stage.

Red Jewel, GM code WA301N, PPG 908589. The stripes are Evoke Gray, GM code WA354N, PPG 918801

The way it is slightly bent, I suspect it is part of a locking washer. The type where you tighten the nut/bolt and then hammer the edge of the washer up to lock it in place. Sometimes the hammering can cause a fracture crack where it bends up against the fastener.

Not familiar with the assembly of the side oiler. Take a look in the manual ans see if you can locate such use internally. I would not be too concerned if that is where it came from.

If you are seriously concerned, you can take a sample of your oil to an aircraft oil analyzer company, and they can see if there is an unexpected amount of metal in the oil.
