Bah. You could literally throw a handful of gravel into the sump with the fresh oil and that is where it will stay. Screen on pump inlet, filter on pump outlet. No grit is getting to the rubby bits. Not saying to try it, but paranoia is unjustified. -
Ended up having to turn around and go home. It looks like my Alternator has packed it in. -

It is fine. The bigger issue is people not being careful with their oil between breaking the seal and actually using it. I have seen literal pebbles of asphalt fall out of "clean oil" bottles. Always take great pains to avoid dropping the plastic foil bits into the oil. Try to avoid putting anything dirty into a "clean bottle" like vinyl hoses, etc. I pour my oil into a syringe, then cap it, then inject into the diff/transmission/etc instead of sucking it up with the hose now. I never drain "clean oil" from an engine and try to reuse it. List goes on. Don't care how clean it looks, the moment it goes into an engine even if it looks brand new I am not going to risk foreign debris getting into something. -
Take it from a Chemical Engineer. It will be just fine.
