First Oil Change - A couple questions

All,

I have had this car for a little over 1 year. It received a new clutch, IMS and other work 11 months ago so I thought I would do an oil change. The car has 4000 miles since the last oil change. I will be sending samples of the oil to CAT and Blackstone for analysis but I wanted to post a couple of pictures to get some input from the group.

When pulling the LN drain plug, I was a little disappointed to see some what appears to be sludge on the tip. See the pics of the plug and then the substance after rubbing it off.

I also cut into the filter but did not see any metal, it looked pretty good.

What do you guys think?

The car is a 2001 Boxster S, 6 Speed with 67500 miles.

Pictures next.

Thanks, John
