Default h22 turbo

my setup is in my sig. The motor has about 43 miles on it now my ? is should the oil have a light tint of silver to it? Is that part of it breaking in? Should i just change the oil at this point and drive on? There is no knock at all, everything seems to be running ok except for when vtec hits the car falls on its face. Any help would be great

Do you mean silver tint, like how metal flake paint looks in a can? (if you know what I'm trying to say)
I'd drain the oil and look at it.

If the engine is new, it is common to have metal particles in the oil after you first run it. Change the oil now and change it again at 500 miles.

With a new hone and rings you can se lots of powder in the oilpan. A magnetic drain plug can collect lots of material. A number of people change oil and filter after firing up a new engine - even before any miles are driven.
