Metal in oil V70-XC70 2008

I've noticed during the past couple of years that there are tiny metal flakes in the oil. The car has 120,000 miles and I change the oil every 3k-4k and replace the Mann filter each time.

When I drain the oil I run it through a strainer and find bits measuring 1/16" or so that are silver, flat and hard.

The engine runs perfectly and quietly, but of course I'm concerned about a rod or main bearing or in this car, the READ drive bearing, which I understand was a potential problem and replaced later with a needle bearing.

Beginning to think I should replace the car before anything catastrophic occurs. Hate to do it as this is the last remaining Volvo in the family after about 18 years.

I've had 745T M46, 945T, 855T, C70 and this V70.

Thoughts?

Erwin
