Good idea - I hadn't thought of that. May not have done me much good at the time as I only had my iPhone 5S on me and the camera isn't that great and there wasn't a lot of light. But my work Samsung has an excellent camera - I'll try it tonight.

Crud getting into the cylinder with the open plug hole is a good point. Hopefully the oil cooler area was relatively clean.
I had a look under the engine lid in Pittsburgh, and it looked normal then in terms of oil. I'll look again when I get home, but I'm betting nothing significant. And it is pretty clean in there.
