Looks like the filter did its job. I won't worry it about, unless the next time or two you unwrap the filter pleats and see these alien droppings in your filter. Sooner or later they'll stop.

Again, the oil and filter are doing their job.

My first post, just joined.

Hi all, i was researching green bits found in the oil filter on boxsters, because i found some in mine today after reading that you should pull the filter apart and inspect it. I have a couple of orings leaking around the spark plug seals, wondered if it could be the source of these green bits, one piece was like a worm and stretched! Although that was brownish red. 2000 boxster s with 95,000 on the clock. New waterpump, and air mass sensor. Have owned it for 3 years, done around 12,000 miles in it.
