Don't they line the aluminum engine block with cast iron sleaves?

Cam, rod and main bearings aren't likely to be aluminum either...

I got a husband so I don't have to worry about stuff like that anymore.

HA!!
I don't think mine has ever changed the oil on my car and he takes his to a place to get it done.

I doubt it. Possible in some engines, but I doubt if you would have that in a modern automobile engine. Hmmm...

Actually, Cletus is right too. Rings/Bearings are probably metal. But if you have pieces of those on your drain plug, changing your oil may not be your first priority.
