Thank you.

I have the tools, know-how, and a couple hours of free time so it just seemed like a no-brainer to get in front of the issue. The heaping globs of RTV hanging around all edges of my timing chain cover definitely motivated it, but no actual issues. I have an oil pressure gauge and my oil pressure consistently doubles subaru’s specification even with that RTV in there.
No flakes. I have a magnetic drain plug and there was nothing on there other than the normal black sludge. There were 2 small flakes in the oil filter I used from 5k-9k, but that is fairly normal.
