Hi All, I've read the latest article about a procedure to check for a potential IMS issue. It involves taking a part the oil filter and looking for patricles. My question is, how accurate is this method from preventing a IMS disaster?

Is there always increased engine wear (exalpining the particales in the filter) before the IMS completey fails?

Thanks
