(pics attached) 1999 Boxster with 94k, during an oil change today we cut open the oil filter and found a couple small metal shavings, but nothing too large or excessive. I had a pre-purchase inspection done at 92k and the specialist cut a filter open and told me it looked fine, but didn't mention what he found inside. My question is.. how much flakes/debris is normal in a dissection? Here are a couple pictures of my filter..
