So, i just finished up in the garage. Car was jacked up after running shortly to get oil lukewarm. Oil was drained through a sieve into a clean container. After this the oil filter housing was taken off, poured into another container, and filter changed. Old filter was then cut open and spread out.
Result, no metal fragments what so ever. None, Nada. Not even a single piece of glitter.
The oil filter and housing also seemed mostly clean, except for a few really small pieces of brown plastic, as expected. The variocam pads are worn and breaking down, I know this already and the job is planned.
As for the look of the oil, it now has a lighter more milky look after i added Liqui Moly Ceratec, as this is offwhite. Looking closely at the oil now, it still looks a bit like before, but I suspect that there is moisture in the oil, as i could se a couple of "bubles" in the oil. Also, there was droplets on the oil filling cap. But there is no "mayo" of any kind. Analysis will tell.
Poured the oil back in the engine. Analysis will decide what to do later.
Also, test container for oil sample came in the mail today. I will drive the samle and documentation to the lab tomorrow. I chose the fast 24h variant that costs double (around 100usd), which means I will have my report monday, maybe even tomorrow evening.
Washed the car and put her i storage for now.
Thanks for good tip on the blotter test. I will try that, even thou i will get results from test pretty soon.
Sieve i ran the oil through. Completely clean.
