Interesting. I never noticed metal shavings in my oil pan. I would think if you can see them then your engine is about to go.
*Extended drains = more metal shavings grit (very small - looks / feels like metal sand ) in my oil drain catcher plastic container with 5W30 ... I noticed even MORE metal shavings grit with 5W20 versus 5W30 in extended drains (unscientific test for sure but noted none the less) .
