I've been told by independent Porsche mechanics and enthusiasts that a certain amount of nonmagnetic particle shedding is to be expected. Explicitly cleaning the sump can provide a baseline for comparing each inspection's results.

Magnetic metal can come from non-IMS places but in the end you really don't want any.

Other symptoms can inform your search for answers, cam deviation, chain noise, other types of trapped particles, etc.

I use a spin on filter to avoid oil bypass, magnetic plug, and Magfilter.
