I took some pics of my 11 month old oil draining out today, along with the magnetic drain plug, and a cut open filter element ( I know I need to upgrade to the spin on/off from JR.).I couldn't believe that there were no ferrous or plastic debris anywhere on the filter, absolutely clean. Even my oil drain plug had hardly any material that my eyes could detect. Drove only 2,799 miles since last oil change. Have documented 14 oil/filter changes from new, averaged 2,359 mi. between oil changes in 72,200 miles. Still on OEM IMSB and water pump. My 911 runs like a clock!
I've never seen the Castrol Edge (Syntec) 5w 40 in 5 quart jugs, but they usually give you the equivalent sale price on the one quart size. I just changed mine and it looked similar to the photos above, but I drove just under 3000 miles since the last change. The magnetic drain plug was nearly spotless.
