I was told that it would not make it all the way into the filter.


With that said - Even if it did it would be passing through the entire system to get there.

That would make sense if the problem is after the filter location in the oil gallery and before the oil drains. (which feed the pan/pickup)
That means this material could defintely do it's damage before it circulated back to the filter. It it even made it that far without collecting somewhere.


Now the hit to miss rate must be extremely low but even still that's a crazy thing to "miss"
