Default Rocks in oil pan

This is a new one for me - literally the truck ran great, no issues what so ever. Other than a few stones falling out every oil pan -


Rocks were an understatement! Who would do that!?!

If putting a brick in your toilet tank reduces water use, maybe rocks in your oil pan reduces oil consumption.

I've heard of the washer on a string inside a door panel back in the day but never rocks in an oil pan! Wow!

Looks like whoever tried to pull a destructo on that engine failed utterly. Lucky you and/or previous owners!

Found about 5 pounds of acorns in a gas tank before, but this is a first for me. In for the results on how this came to be and possibly other geological discoveries in the engine.
