Break in oil...

Don: If that was in your Cayenne, it is entirely normal. The alusil block has silicone dispersed within the metal, not a liner. The aluminum is scraped from the cylinder walls and some silicone goes with it. That why the oil is so black. Aluminum blackens when oxidized (scour an aluminum kitchen pan) unlike ferrous metals (orange)
