Absolute mystery! Need help with oil change.

If the oil filter catches all of it, how does the oil you drain end up being so glittery and full of metal flakes? I changed the oil on my Subaru at 1k miles recently (also not called for in the manual), and there were lots of metal flakes and fragments in the oil pan when I drained. If the filter caught all of that, wouldn't it be in the filter rather than the oil pan? The oil is not stagnant, so you would think it would all eventually make its way through the pump and filter.
Regardless of what the manual says, I always prematurely change any engines oil within 500 miles of it being new or rebuilt. You just never know what foreign fluids or debris are residual from the build process.
And like others have said, Porsche is only on the hook for mileage under 100,000.

REALLY glad everything seems good to go, and I hope your hearing at least stays static.
You know you are also setting yourself up for digs on the 718 because of how everybody says it sounds so "bad" (I wholeheartedly disagree btw, and you should absolutely take the earplugs out every chance you get when you're not on the freeway).

This subject has been beaten to death on this forum over the years, and it's pointless to rehash the arguments.
