I agree. There are metalic deposits and debris that are normal wear contaminants in oil. As the oil runs down lower, then it concentrates these contaminents (think of a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice left to evaporate for a day or two - all of the pulp will collect in the bottom).

Refilling the oil solves the low-oil problem, but it doesn't remove the small metallic particles from your engine.
