The stain on the left is from first taking out the dipstick it looks like metal fragments?

    It’s looks like dipstick crud. If you’re worried about metal in your oil and the possibility of engine wear/ damage you can ask a (real) mechanic to open up and inspect the pleats in your oil filter for metal flakes and shavings deposited between them. By real mechanic I don’t mean JiffyLube or Valvoline. Cheaper than having them drop the oil pan to have a look.

    Otherwise oil color in the bigger stain on the right looks fine.
