I changed my oil 1 month ago because my oil pressure gauge kept dropping and there were like black rocks on my oil filter screen. Now that I did it again there was even more it keeps clogging.

Hello,

This doesn't sound good at all. I am not sure what you mean by black rocks, but it sounds to me like pieces of metal or metal shavings from bearings. The only way to be sure of this though is to physically get into the engine and check the bearing for wear. Is your vehicle running rough or making any kind of noises, or have you noticed a loss of power at all?

Thanks,
Alex
