    So you are saying the amount of metal "sludge" on the magnet was the same size as the bolt? or the same size as the magnet tip? If it is the later, I agree with Guzzler, normal! if you have more than that I would suspect you will be stranded soon. Either way you will find out if it is serious or not within the next 1k miles!

    valvesprings fret off a lot of metal, too. If you put new ones in your next couple of oil changes get to be nasty.

    I have a magnet on my drain plug, and have never any metal in my oil. But I use amsoil.

    I Would do a tune up on it, just to be safe.
