If you are mechanically inclined, pull the oil sump plate and check for ferrous metal, same thing with the oil filter, cut the ends off and carefully check the entire filter. Any significant amount of metal is not good. Consider getting a magnetic drain plug.
Small bits of dark brown plastic in the sump and filter are usually ok.
