Thanks for all the insight and advice to far. I collected a sample of oil to be sent into Blackstone. That became part of my plan as soon as I discovered the flakes. Hopefully I can get some decent results even though I scooped the sample from the catch pan (which was clean) and the engine hadn't been run prior to draining the oil. I collected the sample within 10 mins of draining the oil so hopefully any metal that was suspended in the catch pan was still there. I will make a note of that when sending in the sample. While that is out, I will drop the sump and take a look around. I will definitely check to see if more flakes settled on the bottom of the pan. Coopduc, my oil filter housing didn't look like it had nearly the amount of debris as yours did. Holy Cow! I just saw a few shiny flakes and shiny dust at the bottom. That was reason enough for me to raise the alarm and start questioning things.

Maybe people should insist on the seller not change the oil till the PPI has been done?
