Default does anyone else get fine metal on oil pan magnet?
a buddy just asked if i ever get fine metal on the oil pan bolt/magnet. he just changed the oil on his TBSS and found some.

me, i get some fine metal on my magnet every time i change the oil. it almost looks like a clump of sludge until you look closer. i never worry about it haha. should i? anyone else get some metal stuck to the pan magnet?

I think a minimal amount is expected...i mean isn't everything in the motor metal?

I say big chuncks bad, fine stuff ok...but i could be wrong.
