Not sure if you experiencing it but I always see metal shave at my drain plug with valvoline and Castrol, Valvoline produced less. After switching to BP, I don't see it anymore. I do see wet at valve covers, but not sure if it's BP or the age of the gaskets. The good thing is the metal shave is gone, and also valve noice is much much less.

Car is bone dry STOCK except for SSI, Chain Tension, Pop Off, Carrera Valve Covers, Tranny rebuild (in advance) to address weak syncros in 1st, 2nd, replaced clutch, replaced sunroof motor, paint was repainted 20+ years ago. in original color all done by original owner.
My work done is to maintain high level of care/maintenance like original owner (electrical engineer) did. Hardest jobs for me was the replacement of brake master cylinder as had to remove and reinstall reservoir lines twice as did not seat properly the first time and weep, weep weep. Much smarter the second time so all is dry now. Also rebuilt pedal cluster.
Fortunately, no metal shavings from using either Castrol 20/50 or Swepco and expect same with BP.
