I also recently changed the oil in my '98 with 47k on the engine and also noticed several metal specs like those shown by Aricday but not nearly as many as Wayne's. In order for the metal particles to be from the intermediate shaft bearing I would think you would also see the black rubber seal particles since this bearing is originally sealed and not lubricated by engine oil. I believe these black rubber particles are mentioned in Wayne's article. Is this a correct assumption? I did not find any black particles in my filter, not to say something else is not wearing. The amount of metal in the recent filter was alot less than the amount present on the first oil change of this engine. A question for Wayne, any idea when Porsche started using the unchangable intermediate shaft bearing in rebuilt engines as noted in your article? My boxster is a '98 with an engine that was installed in late '03 after a slipped sleeve destroyed the original. The replacement was a "reworked" one from Porsche. Greg
