The detergent/dispersant additives are boron, calcium, and small amounts of sodium and magnesium. The silicon is an anti-foaming additive. The trace of insolubles are probably just additive that fell out of suspension. No moisture was found and the viscosity was on the mark for a 5W/40. This oil should work well for its intended application."

WHat? That doesn't make sense.
What if the insolubles ARE in suspension; wouldn't they still be counted/detected?

The traces of metals aren't unusual for a virgin oil, so they aren't a problem.
Of course not, they are additives.
