Hmmm... West Michigan That could be Saint Jo to Traverse City. I moved to the south (currently enjoying tropical weather) from Saginaw / Kazoo to Houston. To completely alleviate concerns, remove the oil pan and look for additional metallic particles. Drain the oil. Remove a bunch of 10 mm bolts holding on the pan. Carefully pry off the pan. Check it for additional particles. Clean all sealing surfaces and seal with RTV for installation. If no particles, good to go otherwise more checking necessary. Now is a good time to do it.
