If you see any water/condensate in the oil, I'd be surprised, late model engines run cleaner then ever.
Q > is the oil filter a spin-on or a cartridge?
I put a pair of FilterMags on all spin-on oil filter applications, I can go 8,000 miles before the oil even darkens, UOA show 60% wear metals then before!
The filter is indeed a spin-on. And, I do happen to have a pair of FilterMags on the filter, and a Motion Pro magnetized washer around the center of the oil filter, and a Gold Plug magnetic drain plug. Overkill, I know, but it's the BITOG way.
