2011 V6 - Aluminum shavings in oil

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?

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
