I will tell you , now think as physics conception , coolant temperature is always stabilized at 80 to 110 Celsius , so when weather is cold it heats up the room around throttle body actuator but when car ...

My rep isn't high enough to just leave this as a comment so I hope this answers your question. There are a lot of reasons you could have shavings in your oil all the way from impending catastrophic engine failure to the mundane friction based issue as you mentioned. There are times where shavings may even be expected, such as engine break in https://www....

It's only when the car is moving slowly or stopped that the converter "decouples" input from output to prevent the engine from stalling and to allow a smoother start and stop.
Most torque converters today are "...
