I recently saw what lookes like small metal flakes in my oil when I changed it. Car has been running like a top. I will send in a sample of oil as per the recommendations of other members to have it analyzed.

Hey edevlin,

I only found the small flakes in my oil filter housing cover it seemed. I couldn't find it on the filter or in the oil,weird huh? Be sure you post what they say about your oil.
