I do not ever remember anyone ever talking about theirs, or cleaning it
I am at 305 hours so I decided maybe it should be looked at
The book calls for two people to do it, and since I am single the Safety Police will probably arrest me now.....:D

In any case I doubt I had a tenth of a gram exit the drain port.
I wonder if that is normal?

The low PM in you mufflers is due to you using good fuel,oil and running the engine at a reasonable high RPM. Its passively cleaning its self.:thumbsup:

I tried to clean mine but the bolt was on so tight I thought that the whole exhaust was going to break off. I let it go another 50 hours and tried again this time with it as warm as possible after running. I finally got it removed and found nothing to clean also.

Mine has a square headed plug, I took it out cold, it really didn't want to come out and moaned and groaned the whole way out.
I need to get some antisleaze and put it on it

Interesting they suggest every hundred hours and only enough comes out to slick up your fingers
