Wait for the analysis and be sure to check the filter, as there will be an increased number of particles there *if* the damage is advanced.
Hopefully, everything together will then give a picture.
And replace your drain plug with the original one, these aluminium versions will not hold 50Nm with the genuine aluminium washer.

Thanks. I have googled and looked at pictures of different used oils, none of the pictures i looked at with "metal" in them looked like mine, they had more "glitter" looking residue. However, oil with moisture in it looked somewhat like mine. Can it be moisture? There is no goo in the oil lid or coolant, i do not suspect intermix. Is it possible that the winters cold and rainy days, combined with my multiple stop/starts and running it warm then shutting down while changing/filling coolant have led to condensation?
