I used my homemade car ramps - made of all my wood offcuts
I like your ramps!

Could be the oil hasn't been changed in a while. When I did my first change I had some brownish almost amber looking bits in the filter. Not sure about the black bits. I change the oil every 5k miles and have had nothing in the filter since then.
