yeah I did it yesterday and i'm going to do it again in a few days I think---I noticed the copper after I dumped out the crap-tacular OEM filter I had on there for the swap. I had heard they reduce lifter tick, but I think that theory is bunk...

Its probably from the car sitting for a month, considering i've never seen it in the oil before and the oil was otherwise clean.

Thanks again for your help, Jeff, I can always count on you and a select few at this board to keep me from driving my car off a cliff when somthing like this pops up... I think alot of this irrationality lately has to do with Amy and I breaking up, but i'm sure once school starts i'll get over it quickly...
