We cut the filter apart every time we change oil in my plane. So far all I've found is small carbon particles. If any kind of metal is found then I've got a big problem.

how often is oil changed? 2 microns would be about the size of one particle of baby powder. inbedability (sp). of babbit bearings??
i would imagine the time/miles on most model a engines oil changes is a lot less than what is recommended. we are all guilty of "busy work,

brings back the old saying "it's mine and i can wash it as long as i want to"
