Went for a nice drive because the weather was comfy and got some induction and flutter sounds for a video. Love the TurboSX BOV, but I've not found any other springs they make and been wondering if I should swap over to something like a 50mm Raceport. Though I'd lose out on this wonderful audio.

drained my oil & tossed it right back in after driving 200 miles (used coffee filter to pull debris out), there was definitely glitter/shimmer all in that oil. pulled filter and cut the element out, almost no glitter in there. some black crud, carbon buildup getting out, whatever.
metal was not noticeable in the stream when draining but when i got to the bottom of the oil drain pan, it was. so, my motor will need to be rebuilt or replaced. i think i will start an “advice needed” thread or something. post the videos of each oil change i did there and go from there. i’m also getting excess pressure in my PCV catchcan which is making no sense atm. air getting forced out the dipstick hole when being taken out, maybe the intake manifold is plugged up. idk. torn on what to do with this car at this point. it’s silver and gold glimmer in the oil too i may add. this car has served me well for the 42k miles i have owned it and i don’t want to stop or switch to another fiesta, especially since this one is paid off.
what were the symptoms that prompted you to filter the oil?
