I was under the impression that 2008 was the first year of the new model XC70 with the 3.2L and 3.0T inline six (with the 5 cylinder only briefly reappearing for the 2016 model year).

Erwin references the READ, Rear Engine Accessory Drive, on the 6-cyl.

My advice to Erwin is to go with your gut. If seeing that metal in the oil makes you nervous, then ditch the car. Our 2015 XC60 had a 3.0T go south with some nasty noises deep within the crankcase soon after purchase (suspect neglect by PO). The used replacement engine uses oil like it's going out of style. It's supposed to be our "good" car but the damn thing makes me nervous. I'd drop it like a bad habit except the life partner loves it.
