Did an oil change on my camaro today. Cut the filter open like I always do and saw some glitter in the oil. No chunks, very fine. Magnetic too. Pulled the pleats apart and found some bigger bits.




how hosed am i? Motor has about 7 or 8k on it. Oil pressure is good, roughly 25psi at hot idle. No abnormal or unhappy noises besides the normal sewing machine noises from the valvetrain.

 

Oil sample time.
See what else is there that you can't see.
