BTW the majority of the particulates (dirt) that you find in the oil are attributed to your air filter not catching them. If you can, get a filter with a larger surface area, this will reduce face velocity of the intake air and the particles will be trapped easier by the filter. If you acquire a filter that is larger than your vehicle takes, see if it will fit under the hood with some modifications. A bigger filter really is better.

To elaborate on that, people usually change their air filters way too early. As air filters accumulate dirt, they also filter better. So do yourself a favor, get an air filter service indicator and only change your filter when you need to.
