Would suggest the following: Add a magnetic drain plug. After about 500-750 miles, change the filter again to see if you are getting more/less/none. Based upon what the intermediate filter check shows, keep an eye on it to see what, if anything, changes or develops.

A few shiny aluminum bits is pretty normal. More shiny bits that are attracted to a magnet are far more serious.
