The retrofit concept is one of being pro active; doing the retrofit before any metal shows up in the filter or pan. Once it is there, we would never retrofit the car.
It is for this reason I question the value of the Guardian. IMO by the time enough metal has accumulated to trigger the Guardian your engine is already disqualified for IMSB retrofit.
