2500 mile oil change w/10-30 rotella. Opened up the oil filter and pulled apart the filter roll. There was less than a handful of very tiny pieces of glitter. Nothing chunky on plug or on filter media. When I wiped the plug off, the stuff stuck to it turned to a liquid paste?

Interested in opinions.

Thanks,

I know it scary looking and something you don't wanna see LOL! But I would say that's pretty normal bro! The magnet is doing it job for you! You've never done work on a trans before? Those have magnets and will have tons of that stuff stuck it! It's when you have chunks that its bad!
