I recently changed the oil in my RV-10 (Lycoming IO-540 engine). The engine has a total of 50 hours and up till now it had been running break-in oil. This is the third oil change; once at 5 hours, again at 22 hours, and now at 50 hours. I didn't cut open and inspect the oil filter the previous two times as I wasn't aware it was something I needed to be doing, but this time I did. I found five small 'glints' of metal in the entire filter, just large enough to be seen when the light hits it right.
Just want to know how normal this is.
