I hope you are wrong about there being metal flakes in your oil. Perhaps it was something else??? Metal in your oil, particularly particles large enough for you to see, is never good.

Buy one of those magnets that strap around your oil filter to catch any metal that may be circulating through your engine. Next time you change your oil, you can cut the filter open to see what it's collected.

You could use a magnetic drain plug as well, but the oil filter magnet does a more thorough job of taking metal out of circulation.

It sounds like something is self destructing in there. Sorry.
