I changed my truck oil and it sat for 8 months when I went to turn it on the oil was reading high on dipstick so I decided to change oil again and found shavings on the drain plug. Seems more like scales than shaving. Any ideas of what’s going to be breaking soon or is it nothing to worry about? Thanks
