This was my third run of HPL PCMO. You guys Think it is safe to go 10,000 miles?

Can you post the numbers or a better picture?

It looks to me like your flashpoint is pretty low, even though viscosity is ok. But the numbers are pretty blurry to me.
 
Just saw that I can download your picture and can read it a little better.

This oil ran a bit longer than the typical 5200 miles between filles that we based universal averages on for the 2.3L Ecoboos. That's fine, and wear metals loo great at the end of this run. Only iron is higher than averages and that looks like normal accumulation, so internal parts seem to be getting along great. Silicon/insolubles are low enough to show effective air/oil filtration, and aside from a harmless amount of fuel, no contamination was found in this 5w30. The TBN shows lots of active additive (2.0 is low). A 10k mile run should be fine. Nice!
 
I definitely don't see any issue running 10k miles. Everything looks good, while the flashpoint is a little low indicating some fuel is in the oil, it doesn't seems to affected anything other than dropping the viscosity a little.
