I think I found some metal shavings in my used motor oil today. I'm assuming this is a bad thing, but to what degree? Oil is changed regularly, every month and half to two months. This is about the time it took me to get to 3,000 miles. My speedo isn't working consistently anymore so my odometer is off. I couldn't get them to stick to a magnet. A couple little pieces almost looked clear like glass, some metallic and some white (plastic shavings from my oil filter being scraped by my wrench possibly?)

It's a 95 legacy ej22. I replaced the pcv valve two weeks ago along with the parts you sent me. I did notice a bit of fresh looking oil in and around the bottom of the hose going into the block from the y connector the pcv connects into. All the air hoses are new as well. I believe I am about 30,000 miles since last timing job, though that was before I had the car Valve gaskets were done about 4-5 years ago. I have quite a bit of handwritten records that are a bit hard to read. I will keep an eye on the oil level, for now it is up above the full line I will get the engine cleaned up a bit and get some more pictures in the next couple days.

Also a slow oil drip coming from here. It's coming from the raised side (drivers), the opposite of the drain plug. I checked the oil level and it seems high. Last change got done at the AAA, they had a good deal going on...Possibly to much oil got put in? I'm going to do an oil change this week myself.

Ok I will pop it off again and lube it up. Thanks for the advice. I ended up not replacing the drivers side rotor, as the pads were not wore down much at all. Still a good ways from metal on metal and the rotor wasn't scratched at all. So I put new pads on and the test drive went well. No more grinding sound and the car stops well after I followed the break in instructions that came with the pads

Talking about the pin that holds the caliper together? Lower pin got lubed, upper pin I did not. Boot seemed uncracked and ok so I did not want to mess with it. Should I try and slide it out?

I got the passangerside rotor and pad done, it's pretty dark now so I will get the other tomorrow. Here is a picture of my pads. Seems the inside pad has a lot left to it and the outside pad is all but gone. The caliper piston moved without much trouble. Is this something I should worry about? Some trouble with caliper?
