Was a very fine metal paste stuck to the magnet. Not sure how much is normal for this model. Car has done 144,000 kms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks okay. Fine paste in small quantities is okay,large chunks and non metallic bits is bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't smell burnt. No large chunks or other material. Would hazard to guess it has been a while since serviced. The old filter didn't appear to be genuine Ford branded filter. Do the OEM ones have a Ford logo or part number on them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
