Metal paste on my magnetic drain plug

[AWDtalontsi96]

Okay so I just clicked 1,000 miles on my new motor , did a oil change and there was some gray paste kind of material on my magnetic drain plug. Not a lot just kinda coated it. Id say less then 1/16th of in thick. Did the 30 minute break in idle , rev , hold rpm , accel and decal. Then changed oil. Ran it 1,000 then changed oil , first 500 miles were 15 psi driving more accel and decal on the motor , little to no highway so rpms would be all over and not just sitting at one rpm. Also crankcase breather / catch would smoke a little , trickled as much smoke as a lite cigarette just sitting there. then once motor warmed up smoke would go away. Fresh oil change, new filter and cleaned preturbo oil filter. Started it up and no smoke what so ever and warmed up still no smoke. Why was it smoking before. Was the oil burnt from the 1000k breaking in the motor?

Just run rotella 15-40. It's $16 a gallon and has the same zinc and potassium levels of race oil.

yeah the paste isnt a big deal. now when your like my buddy and pull out a chunk that looks like a wedding ring thats when you know you have a problem. worst to worst when you do a oil change next put in a oil system treatment and see how that does for ya. but being that you got a new motor i wouldn't be that freaked out . my buddy found saw dust in his oil after he got a new motor and that motor is still fine.
