C'mon, Daniel....
if you have metal particles in the oil (not unexpected under the circumstances)
then
you have metal particles in the filter.
Why would you take the chance of circulating new oil through a contaminated
filter, to possibly re-distribute some of the metal contained within through
your expensive engine....for the relatively EXTREMELY minor cost of a new
filter?
Happy New Year, mate.....
