heiwaz,
extanker was refering to opening up your old oil filter (cut the ends off), unfolding the paper element and inspecting to see if there are any metal or plastic particles lodged in the element.
Metal could = IMS bearing wearing.
Black plastic could = IMS bearing plastic shield breaking up.
Red / brown plastic could = chain tensioner guide wear.
If you do find any of the above, the next sensible step is to remove the bottom of the sump to see just how much debris is in there. These results will give you some idea on how to procede next...
Hope this helps - your English is far better than my Spanish too....
