Sorry if this is a repeat question, but has any BITOGer ran Mobil 1 Extended Performance for the full 15k miles & gotten a used oil analysis?

WW - I have been watching for one of these myself. I have seen some good used oil analysis with the Mobil 1 Extended Performance, but not at 15K miles. I put the Mobil 1 Extended Performance 10w30 in my 5.3L last month and I plan a longer OCI. I should have a 8-9K UOA around end-January.
I do remember that some members were running the Mobil 1 Extended Performance for the full interval and should be getting close to the end. I hope we see one soon.

We have seen some at 10,000 to 12,000 that where excellent but no full 15,000 mile runs. I think in a clean running toyota or honda it is possible to get an excellent UOA at that milage.
am just about 12000miles into my EP run, should have the full 15thou done by the middle of Dec. 98 Suzuki Swift 1.3L 4cyl 3.75qts 5w30-EP- FL400s filter changed at 9thou with 1/2qt makeup along with 1/4qt added so far which is about the same amount used during the other 5-10thou mile runs I have done so far(2 M1-SL,1Ams,1GC & the last M1-SM) This oil still looks good for whatever thats worth. Am running the full 15 with no sample taken in between after being told to go 12thou next time since all 3 prior M1 samples checked out ok. TBN's3.5-4.1 with iron SL38,47-SM59.(Ams TBN3.9 iron10/GC TBN3.3 iron28 with both thickening where M1 has not)
I would like to see used oil analysis of such an oil from the "general" or "average" motoring public, which has gone the full 15k. Of course there's that "...or 1 yr" aspect for those who travel very little/less often. That could be interesting too, especially if one happens across a fill-and-forget customer!
I am doing (5W30) it with my LS1 Z28. I will post the UOA when I am done. I also have 3 oz of auto Rx in the oil, too.
