Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Guys, I have done a full oil change and filter swap, pretty easy to be honest, I have a couple of questions? 1. What's the best start up procedure post oil + filter change? 2. I examined my filer (tore out the outer paper) examined it. What would normal particulates in the filter look like? I found some 3 or 4 but they were vsmall less than 1mm - what's normal. Sorry I am a new to Porsches having only just bought my '99 C4...

He he - Never mind, I didn't really expect a sensible answer!
Post a picture of the particles. Could be nothing could be .... not nothing.

My plan is to pull the filter after i have done 100miles and see what I have. The motor was rebuilt in 2012 and I think this is the first filter change as it's only covered 4k miles...
Couple small particles are nothing to worry about. This is something to worry about :
Well my filter was much cleaner than that, I had to pick through each fold to find anything! Why I asked is that I have never had a car with a paper filter that's easy to examine, so I really have no idea what I would find in the filter, normal spin off type filters are hard to check so you never really know what's being deposited in them. Normally I would expect zero deposits or very fine deposits similar to a silver "copper grease" on the magnetic sump plug; I fitted a magnetic plug too as part of the oil change. I will wait and see...
You will be fine. seems if you found little particles then your filter is doing it's job. after-all that's what it is for.
I was disturbed to find this in my oil change, that explains what happened to my IMS.

Damn, did an illegal do your last oil change?
You need to build a wall around that car. At your own expense.
