Other than that it looks pretty good - if I stick to his suggestion of 5,000 miles, this oil will stay in the car for almost 2 years. I doubt I'll do that, but would be very interesting to see what would happen - any volunteers?

Guessing the silicon may have come from fine particles of sand. Blackstone suggested this in their comments - abrasive silicon. Check your air filter for damage or not fitted properly.
