How Screwed am I? (metal particles in oil)

While waiting for the UOA, you can do a blotter spot test with your oil. There are several templates on the internet with which you can compare the result.

I did the blotter test on coffepaper just now.


After about 40 seconds the oil is absorbed outwards. There is a bulb of oil in center and a "wet" circle outside. Seems pretty normal, right?


After 10 minutes i checked back. All oil is absorbed already. I looked at the spot with a magnifying glass, and could not see any debris. So nothing worrying about this, right? Now i just wait for the oil report.
