Metal on drain plug.

I have noticed that every time i change me oil there is a small amount of metal fuzz on my oil drain plug. Is this normal? I have been using Valvoline 5w40 or Rotella t6 on my last few oil changes. Should i be worried?

Well the drain plug is magnetic so i'd say it's normal. Really depends on how much metal is on it though. If you really want to know if you should be worried get an oil analysis.
