another reason why I believe the shavings are from the oil Is because the shavings are curved like they came from a drill bit. I don't know if that's a logical assumption but that's what it looks like to me. You can see what appears to be Curled aluminum shavings in the pictures, the same aluminum shavings that were in the pictures the shop sent me while drilling the oil pan.
