    is this normal??

    changed my oil today.. as i was putting the bottles of used oil in a bag a couple hours afterwards to get ready to take them up to be disposed of.. i noticed at the bottom of a couple of the bottles there looked to be sediment of some kind.. when i turned the bottles over they kind of looked like air bubbles.. the biggest deposit of it was in the last bottle i poured.. i heard somewhere that sometimes metal shavings showed up in oil before engine failure ... i really am paranoid about my VX.... anyway, im gonna take the oil to a shop tomorrow and have a mechanic take a look at it just in case, any ideas what it might be that i could suggest? i plan on taking a magnet to it later to see if that has any effect (ie look for metal in it)

    forgot to mention.. this was my third oil change with quaker state 4x4 synthetic 10w30
