Metal particles in engine oil

This is good advice if you've actually interrogated your air filter and we can have some technical discussion to go along with the trivia that was presented.
Otherwise, it's all speculation - and at that point, we all might as well upgrade to Tornados and gain the incredible benefits of increased horsepower, better mileage, and engine longevity.
^ That sounds good, too.

This is completely and utterly false. One can run an engine completely without an oil filter and be just fine. People run engines for 100K miles without changing their original oil filter (or oil!) and the things don't self destruct.

Your advice at best is always amateur. I'm a pro trying to help people with real knowledge. one of the reasons I DON"T post up anymore is because of people like you with little to none real working knowledge poison these posts.
I'm out no more posts for me, Good Luck people.

Help us out with some pro knowledge and evidence, if you have some. Why keep that working knowledge secret? Don't just show us the ending - show us how you got there.
I'm just trying to figure out why... with GM cars rolling off the lots with these AC Delco oil filters on them - we don't see oil filters failing commonly and engines suffering "terminal damage"???

As I mentioned in post #26, that is not a normal amount of metal on a drain plug. That is all anyone can tell, no idea if there is some impending disaster, but that much metal is a signal to investigate further. I think that was the original question, then the topic sort of spun out of orbit. FYI, a fairly inexpensive way to keep some metal from recirculating is to place a filter magnet on the oil filter itself, then cut open the filter from time to time and take a look for shavings. You should not find any if your internals are in order. By the way, there is nothing wrong with AC Delco filters. The old 43 was one of the better filters you could run on a LS2 GTO.

If a magnet in the oil filter and a magnet on the oil drain plug were to have similar amounts of shavings on them, that would be interesting...
