Very First Oil Change - Filter Guts
I recently did the first oil change on my '16 F150 5.0L at 5K miles. I was curious how much metal may be in the oil filter due to engine break in. Take a peek and see if things looked "normal"? Take it easy - Ozz

I duct tape a 3 inch in diameter circular magnet to the bottom of the oil filter to catch any steel metal particles that come loose. So far I have not seen any signs of any metal particles when opening the oil filter after two oil changes.

Modern machining is so precise that you shouldn't ever have metal shavings as the engine "breaks in". 30+ years ago that would have been somewhat normal, but today it's a sign of a problem!
