What is the point of running such extended OCI/OFI? Are y'all actually trying to prove something or are you just swinging your manhood?
I prefer someone to actually use the capabilities of an synthetic fluid rather than praise to heavens on how "synthetics" are the be all end all of fluids and change it at 2K because it makes them "feel better". If you are going preach that you have the best thing in your crankcase since the conception of an oil change. Use it to its capabilities.
This! If you're going to use good oil, then friggen use it!
I rarely look at the UOA section anymore. It's 90% filled with 2-6k OCI's on premium oil and filters.
