Default Oil Change w 1 small flake?

Just performed an oil change (3,000 miles, DT40) and replaced oil pressure sensor. When cutting open filter found 1 small (non-magnetic) flake (looks to be aluminum not plastic). Nothing on magnetic plug and oil very clean. Sent oil out to Blackstone for 1st analysis. One thing about this forum is you start to question everything (that's a good thing) Anything to be concerned about?

PLEASE READ MY NEW THREAD "OH S--T, REALLY NEED HELP/ADVISE" The small flake above is nothing to what was found later. Thanks

Looks like factory machining flake, I wouldn't worry just keep checking your filter on oil changes

Have seen your involvement on many threads and hope you can help. This tread started out as a small flake and has turned into a major headache. Please read my other thread that was published shortly after this one. Maybe you could reach out to others that know these engines well.
