changd oil in car today metal shavings
 
i changed my oil today for the last time untill i get it out of storage next year, and when i pulled drain plug it had some metal shavings on it (looked fuzzy on the tip) they were no longer than 1/8 of an inch, my oil pressure is at 60 psi cold idle and 20-25 psi warm idle and doesnt fluctuate, also i have no knocking, i will cut the filter open tomorrow to check it out, fwiw this is only the 3rd oil change since the new motor has been installed, does this seem a reason for concern?

thanks
Gary

thats kinda what i was thinking, but with my hot idle @ 20-25psi i wasnt totally sure (yea i know the 10psi per 1000rpm rule)

thanks
Gary
