After changing the oil today i was going to clean my catch pan but looked closely and i could see metal flakes. Not a lot and most of them were very small. This is my 4th oil change on this car. The first two oil changes i did not pay attention but for the last two i noticed (slightly less flakes this time) .
This car was serviced at the dealer from the beginning up until recently with 8-10k OCI on 5W-40. I bought it with 79k miles from the first owner and now it has 94k miles. Im worrying, never saw that on my previous cars and they were all high mileage (200k+) cars.
Here is a picture i found of something close, mine had small flakes like this but way less, i'd say a few. Something worth noting is also the presence of very small sludgy black deposits at the bottom of the catch pan.
