Or you can post a pic of the flakes you're looking at.

I will try to get some photos that show the little flecks that are larger than the normal particles that cause "metallic sheen." They are not large enough to pick up with your fingers. I have just never seen anything like this in this engine before. Freaking me out.
I will also send some oil out for analysis to see what kind of metal it is.
My car has lead/copper main and rod bearings.
I certainly tried to do the job by the book. We will see I guess.
At least there is no knock or big pieces of metal in the filter. I do not think anything has spun yet. No low oil pressure warnings or the like.
Cheers,
