20 minute redline is nothing. You don't think honda built and engineer an engine not to handle 20 minute of redline. His car OE recommendation is 5w-20, he's already almost using two grades higher with 0w-30. I work on hondas, and I can tell you that the oil's passage way for the engine is...

You have nothing to worry about. Your car is spec for 5w-20 and you're already using a very heavy 30wt oil. You have mild mods which won't do much to the car. I would change the K&N filter to something else. Honda are reliable cars and are meant to take a beating. Your motor has tight...

Could the particles be additives?

As of right now, my car is running fine. I took it out for a spin yesterday, I even punch it for a little. I know particles don't come out of no where. I am waiting for a reply from them right now.

Nope it did not. I have a brand new royal purple filter and it doesn't rattle. I know Royal Purple filter is made by champion lab.

I forget to add, that the internals of the filter rattles a lot. You can hear a lot of clunking when you move the filter around. That is why I believe I got a defective filter.

No I didn't hear any clunking noise.

Well Royal Purple wants me to send in the oil filter to them to see the cause of the problem.
