Full 1-ONS040 filter cut open (after HPL oil)

I see a few large light colored particles in there ... aluminum or something else?

Maybe? Magnet didnt suck them up

That's a lot of loading, this is generally why @High Performance Lubricants recommends using the EC before the oil.

With that much stuff in there, I'd be tempted to drain and strain the HPL and keep it for future, maybe put some cheap stuff in to basically pour through and get bottom of the pan rinsed. Maybe even MityVac through the drain plug all around the bottom of the pan.

I think one of my big concerns would be clogging the oil pick up screen with how much is coming off. I would probably do multiple rounds of the EC30 with the frequent filter changes before going back to the HPL oil.

I did 4600 miles on the CRV with EC30 and a filter change at 3k. Lots of little specks at 3k, and some bigger stuff in can at 4600. Still need to cut the filter.
