Dwilson114 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Hi all, Posting about my pop's 2011 Venza. I was changing the oil and realized there were many shavings in the oil - magnet won't pick them up so assuming they're aluminum. 86k miles on the odometer. Has anyone else noticed this? Factory problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toyota Owners Club Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Hi....welcome to the Club If there are mettalic particles in the oil then this not good news at all. However, are the shavings from the oil pan where the plug fits in, e.g. has it stripped the threads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Factory problem? I was fortunate enough to have read that you need to do an oi change at 1000 miles as there will be fillings loose from the pistons that will shed. So yes this is what your are seeing apparently it hasn't caused any damage just needs to be removed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
