Thanks for the reply JayG. I thought about that as well. However I have read that finding bits and pieces in the oil filter is a sign of "impending doom". It is one of the signs to look for that indicate you are on your way to having a serious problem. At this point, I think the filter did its job and caught what was getting through from the pending failure. If it had fully failed, that is when I think the catastrophic failures happen and when all the gunk gets sucked up into the engine necessitating a full replacement or rebuild. I hope some more folks weigh in. Should I walk away from this car or does it appear the issue was caught in time?
