I just changed my oil today and am concerned there may have been crap in it (no idea what it is). The oil pan I used was covered in a light dusting of sawdust, but I don't think that is what this is...... also there where a couple of "chip" looking things. I snapped pics of the largest.

Last oil change was ~1500 mi ago, done by the dealer during my 7.5K service. I usually change my own oil around 1.5K miles. I have always used OEM filters with the exception of a single change right before the dealer did it (I used a crappy FRAM that time because I didn't know about their crappy rep. yet).

Take a look at the pics.... how concerned should I be?
