Metal Filings In The Engine Oil
#6
I'll parrot the other guys - drop the filter, dissect it, drop the pan and pull the valve cover. Check the crank area for scores and watch for shavings and oddities near the connecting arm seats on the crank. Anything that resides near or has a bearing, check it if possible. Bearing jackets (housings) that are eating themselves due to wear and possibly poor lubrication / mechanical defects will "shave off". I've done that in the past with an old V8 that I inadvertently starved of oil @ 120 KM/H (crank bearings).
