2018 Nissan Rogue 2.5L 83,170 miles
Was changing my oil today and had particles in the oil collection jug. They looked shiny but crumbled in my fingers. Most of the particles except for one were non-magnetic. The one magnetic particle is in the last photo. The yellow mineral looking particle and the crumbled ones on my finger didnt attract a magnet.
I change the oil and filter every 5,000 miles. I was 259 miles late this time but it shouldn't be an issue. Last oil change looked normal. The only difference was I switched from Valvoline high mileage 0w20 to penzoil platinum high mileage 0w20 at the last oil change. Used the same K&N 1008 filter. Haven't torn that apart yet, waiting on a tool.
Any idea what could be the cause? Did a trip from dallas to austin and back. Cruised around 80-85mph at 2000rpm.
