Steve - I have some data, but it's a bit drawn out.
My Dmax HDEO used oil analysis was for around 6k miles last year.
I don't have a DIC system controlled by the steering wheel controls (because it's a basic work truck). The OLM and FFLM are reset by tap-dancing in a particular sequence on the fuel and brake pedals in my truck. I can never pull up the % of life remaining on demand; rather, it only displays a message on the DIC at the dash when the characteristic reaches 10% left.
So, last year I purposely didn't reset the OLM at the time of the OCI/used oil analysis so I would see just how much further PAST my annual OCI the OLM would perceive I could go. Ended up being nearly just shy of 2x the annual OCI; so I would approximate that to be around 11k miles.
So, you can do a very rough interpretation with my used oil analysis based at 6k miles, and my OLM pointing toward around 10.5k miles, or maybe as high as 11k miles? It's tough to know because my access to the OLM data is only at the convenience of the OLM, and not my spontaneous quest.
Here's the used oil analysis:

The OLM message popped up around 10.1k miles, but that only comes on when the 10% factor is remaining, so I can't say for sure where the 5% or 3% or 1% limit would have been. It's likley that I would have got 10.5k or 11k out of the official OLM lifecycle.
Not bad, considering I ran conventional Rotella 10w30 and pulled a travel trailer for many of the miles ...
Also, there was a PCMO used oil analysis here earlier this year (not my thread) that I'll try to find where a guy ran around 9k+ miles on his OLM with conventional oil in a Chevy car (Malibu?) and the OLM and used oil analysis were in reasonable agreement, as I recall.
