If the original oil filter has not been thrown out, it should be dissected to look for bearing material. If gone, the current oil filter should be dissected.
I think that is a good idea, and easy to do. I will just drain the oil in a clean pan and remove the oil filter for inspection. Any particles are going to be on the outside, so dissection is not necessary.
