You have to determine if they are aluminum or ferrous.
I would not recommend driving it until you determine.
Happy Boxstering,

Be careful you don't over react. Is the metal ferrous or non-ferrous? If the engine's running ok... MarcW - Tuesday, 26 July, 2011, at 1:06:53 pm |

So I finally examined the oil filter closely and see some tiny metal hair like particles. Maybe 1/4 inch - 3mm in length and thinner than a human hair - very hard to see, on maybe two three filter ripples. This is off my 2005 S with 40,000mi. Love the car, scared about what this might mean after reading this board on all the 'issues'. Bought the car in Nashville Dec 2009 and have put almost 10,000 mi, changed oil twice, just cause wanted too. Resides in Houston - sooo cool here right now! Would sure love some of those new ventilated seats.
First post - hey ya'll.

The noise you heard after the car sat so long is normal. These engines can shed metal.... MarcW - Wednesday, 27 July, 2011, at 4:28:51 pm |
