Looks reasonable.
Wear rates are not objectionable; contamination is low; oil characteristics are in range of expected values.
I'd say it's OK to extend the OCIs a bit if you want to try that. If not, then nothing wrong if it represents annual mileage for you.

Shared sump, Synthetic Chevron Delo Diesel.
Thanks for that info & this oil seems to be working quite well for your bike. Happy that the Indian name was brought back to life.
This is probably what you ran? -----> https://www.walmart.com/ip/Chevron-Delo-XSP-15W-40
This should have more additives than before on their new XLE basic HDEO ----> https://www.walmart.com/ip/Chevron
Yes, that's it, the synthetic. I'll be running some 15W40 diesel in my Indian, riding mower, and Honda VFR.
I think I'm going to keep my OCIs to 3 years or 5k whichever comes first. It seems to always be 5k. I've run out to 15k before when I had 100+ mile per day commutes, but now at 20 miles per day that's not necessary, and I'm more interested in preserving my toys rather than eking out every penny worth of my oil.
I have run T6 oil in my Indian Roadmaster but have returned to the Indian oil. I have a 2014 VFR800, put the T-6 oil in a well, and find shifting far less smooth.
