Metal Debris in Oil... Now What?

[Jake Raby]

This debris looks a lot like what we see when cams/ lifters are failing. The problem is this has been circulated through the entire oil system for a long while by this point, and no, the oil filter has not filtered 100% of the oil.

These small dust like particles are more harmful in the oil than chunks. Why? Because they are light and fully suspend in the oil, allowing them to be delivered engine- wide, creating collateral damages that are extensive.
