I have drilled my oil pan plug and epoxied a magnet into it.
Today i drained the oil, first change on a rebuilt engine, and there was quite a bit of metallic 'mush' attached to it.
I have run the engine for a total of about 45 mins - 25 mins @ 2000- 3000 rpm, 20 mins @ 700-3000rpm.
It has sat for a week before draining it today.

My first thought was that it picking up the mush was good, then i wondered whether the oil has 
metallic additives that i shouldn't be removing?

Any ideas?
