Filter looks exceptionally clean. And not what I would expect.
I'm sure I've posted this before but I'll post it again. Attached is a pic of my 2008 Cayman S oil canister oil and filter at around 750 miles. I didn't cut the filter open but based on the amount of "glitter" visible in the oil in the drain pan I'm sure it had lots of particles of metal/whatever in its folds....
I'll add that the sample of factory fill oil from my 230i and the sample of virgin oil there was no mistaking which was which. The factory fill oil with around 600 miles was considerably darker than the virgin oil.
