Hi Folks,

I performed the third oil change @ 11k on my 2007 997S. I took this opportunity to install the LN Engineering spin on oil filter kit and magnetic drain plug.

Upon inspecting the used oil filter, I found a single little piece of debris (looks to be metallic) nested inside one of the pleats. The last time I changed the oil, I also had a single piece of debris in the oil filter.

Cause for concern? What could this be?

That's a pretty big chunk. Save a sample of oil and get it tested. Probably nothing to be concerned with but the oil spectrum analysis will tell you more.

I knew I forgot something ....I have already mixed it with other used oil in my container.

Is it metal, is it ferrous, is it plastic? If its aluminunum, its not a problem, even if its ferrous, its so small and only one bit that I wouldn't worry about it, same thing for plastic.

I think its pretty normal to get small bits of debris, ferrous, non ferrous and plastic all the time.
