I just had an epiphany.. and it might be a embarrassing one. I suddenly came to think of, that when i took the oil plug out, the torx slipped and filings came of. I had to use a different torx to even get the plug out. Now there is a big chance that filings stuck to the plug went into the container below when the oil started flowing out.

There is i big chance, i think, this happened and that the metal is not from inside the engine at all. Makes sense since there was no metal at all in november.

I apologize for making a thread out of my own amateurness. I will however take your advice and do an oil and filter change, and inspect for debris. If there is none to be found, I belive i know what happened.

Now i feel like a moron. But its better to be a moron than to have metal debris in your engine!

But does the picture of the oil look somewhat normal?
