Decided to stretch this interval out longer this time - looks to be decent still. But I probably will keep it at 8k-9k intervals here on out. Car sees a lot of stop and go and short cold starts from moving the car out of garage daily. It also does see a few road trips as well, so overall, mixed use.

You're not going to burn off enough fuel. The real purpose of warming up the oil is to circulate the oil to get a good sample mix. I agree that 8k looks to be a good point for your engine oil interval.
 
Ill drive 30minutes next time before draining. I assumed getting to operating temp good enough but prob needs to maintain operating temp for some time to fully burn off the water / fuel.

When I am taking sample, I give it min 30min ride, and I push it hard once temperature is in operating range.
