Well…. I think my oil filter housing mishap yesterday revealed a deeper issue. I placed a clean drain pan under my engine before I pulled the housing off to catch residual oil, and I noticed that there appeared to be some glittery speckles in there. I ended up draining the oil and filter into a separate clean pan and the oil appears glittery and I’m seeing small specs of shiny non-magnetic metal flowing out of the filter and floating around in the oil. Not a good sign.
what do you guys think? I’m really unsure of what to do moving forward. Do I put fresh oil in it, cross my fingers and continue moving forward with the swap since I am so close? I’m half tempted to just continue finishing it and try driving it for a while since I’m planning on S50 swapping down the road anyways. I don’t know! I’m pretty torn on what to do. The idea of tearing all of this back apart puts a pit in my stomach.
