So guys, Did an oil change on my cefiro, and found this in the drip tray when I was draining it. (tray was spotless before dropping oil) The thing is, apart from a slight lifter tick on stone cold starts the car has zero engine knocks/noises. Can hear injectors over everything else. 50-60psi oil pressure straight on start up, warm oil pressure at idle of 20psi. When on the track copping a caining the oil pressure at idle sometimes drops to 10-15psi. (with the car idling at 500rpm) Has been the same for the entire time I've had the car on the road. (almost 3 years) Oil changes never past 5000km, Always used motul 10-40w. Next thought is that its something from the turbo, but again, no noises, still boosting fine. (hypergear highflow, never over 20psi, running supplied oil feed hose, stock drain.) Yet to pull anything apart turbo wise, but am going to pull turbo oil drain off, and see if I can find any evidence, then check shaft play. I assume the filter would be stopping most of it, but I really don't want shit like this floating around in the oil, plus want to fix the issue before it becomes bigger. So, with that amount of metal in the pics above, if it's coming from an engine bearing, would you expect it to be knocking? Anyone had a turbo fail and experience similar? Have my RB20 days come to an end and now have the perfect excuse to go RB25det NEO? haha.
