Default Trans fluid change

Changed my fluid earlier today and it was really dirty. I took a pic of the drain plug. Is this a normal amount of shavings for 165k with same fluid for last 80k?

The amount of shavings will depend on how the trans was treated in those last 80 thousand miles.

When I changed my tranny fluid at 150k there were shavings on the drain plug but a little less than your pic. I don't know how old the fluid was tho..

I wouldn't worry about it..
