I followed up with Blackstone and this is what they said about the Boron and Titanium:

Those elements are just additive in whatever oil was used for this sample. They're both harmless. If I had to guess, I think the oil is Valvoline given the additives present. They just started using titanium and magnesium at these levels. I'm not sure what purpose titanium serves as an oil additive, but it sure is popular these days! It's harmless, so no worries there. Castrol uses some titanium in some of its products too, and Mobil and Kendall use it too. No worries there!


Here's a list of all the elements and where they come from: http://www.blackstone-labs.com/report-explanation.php

That being said I'm just going to continue getting updates as I change the oil. Looking through this forum not many people posted their reports so its hard to draw any conclusions specific to this engine.
