Hi everyone,
I've had some very thin, shiny, copper colored flakes in my engine oil for the past 50 or 60 thousand miles. Internet consensus from a quick google shows this might be from bearing wear (engine: 2006 QR25DE), and the engine is ready to explode at any time, but as mentioned before the oil has been this way for the past 50k+ miles. Don't have any pictures, but will take some on the next oil change.
All UOA oil analyses have shown less than average wear metals for the most part.

Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
