Probably so Pothole, but many people have replaced their IMS bearings and found scoring, even though they had not yet failed. I suspect that at that point some additional metal was showing up in the oil filter. In my most recent oil change (last week), I had two very small metallic particles on the magnetic drain plug and none in the filter.
I will probably put on another 3000 km before I put it away for the winter and then I will change the oil/filter again in the spring before it goes back on the road. Hardly fullproof, but I still believe it is a worthwhile exercize.
