Highly accurate, for such a small study.
Pity my poor Ducati, or rather the poor Ducati owner that wasn't mechanically competent enough to avoid the dealer at every bump in the road. My '92 900SS has a spin on filter and a removable screen. Displayed clearly on this screen (at every 3k oil change) was the evidence of the story of an aluminum oil galley plug determined to find a better home than the crankshaft, where it was originally installed. Earlier in its' life (aka still under warranty), the little slivers and crumbs were from valve guide material. I can only imagine the look of shock and horror on the lab assistant's face at the contents, if the oil had been analyzed at its initial 6oo mile service, lol.
55k miles and counting
