Gas in oil and white flakes in the filter

Mobil 1 0w40. I've heard that they've gone down hill in recent times but damn.

I was worried about running too rich too, especially with the 996 tune in my 2.7. I haven't read afrs yet but the exhaust isn't black and I'm not getting any error codes.

The only other thing I could think of is if there is too much blowby - ring failure, ring land failure, cylinder scoring - but I have good vacuum on the oil fill tube at idle where I would think those conditions would create positive pressure. I don't know that for sure though, maybe someone can chime in on that?
