Okay. No real worries then .... unless I start getting bolts and nuts attached to the magnet!

I second the Oil filter trick. I used that on my Caprice and had a lot of very fine pieces of metal that turned out to be from the lobes of the camshaft and lifters wearing away as I was not aware of the no Zinc in Mobil 1 Synthetic. I will say cutting the filter with a hacksaw was a mess. Glad to hear you are using ZDDP don't stop using it!
