I'm just about to go change out my oil again, but this time with Redline 5W-30 and a WIX 57060XP Filter. Quote:
Also, just to note, those flecks that I posted came out of the Oil Filter only, not when I drained the oil from the pan. I basically had to shake the oil filter for that "glitter" to come out.

UPDATE:
Changed my oil and it looks like there is still a very tiny amount of those flecks/glitter in my oil, mind you, this is just the second oil change after the trunnion and cam change. Looks like my oil pressure is still holding, and is actually a bit higher than before. Didn't have room or time to find out WOT oil pressure. This is with Redline 5w-30 and Wix Filter. Cold Start Idle- 4.1 Bar(60.27psi) Hot Idle- 2.4 Bar(35.28psi) Cruising 2100rpm- 3.4 Bar(50psi) To me, it's looking pretty good. I'll do another oil change at around 1k miles and see where i'm at again. Also, any big chunks you see are definitely not from the oil change, it's a bit windy, so there is a little bit of debris.

I wouldn't worry about it. I'm assuming the minor amount of flakes are from the filter again? To me, that means it was a one-time non-recurring thing (the trunions), since the amount is a very small fraction of what was there originally. But, I'm no expert in LS bearing wear.
