I have a lot of short frequent trips on this change. My commute is only 5 minutes each way. I live in an urban area. I did go on a couple of long trips, however. I also did some towing and hauling. I'm impressed with the wear numbers.
Filter was a Wix XP.

Nice numbers, but is it the oil or is the engine a good wearing engine? I used to work in fleet maintenance and we has over 300 of one type of fork lift. some at 30,000 hours ran great and others had stinky exhaust. They were all maintained equally with the same oil,Delo 400 of the day.
Before a certain member can come in here and tell you that you must run a 12 to $15 per quart Boutique oil or your camshaft will fail nearly immediately, this is an excellent report on a readily-available oil. Thanks for sharing! What oil and filter did you put back in and on?

Because 0W20s most always use 2-3 times the amount of POA in 0W20, versus that of 5W20, if this were my vehicle and I remained adamant on using 20w oils, I would be using a name brand 0W20 in this Hemi.
That is strictly me thou and I respect your decision and choice here.
Looks great did your iOLM tell you to change it?

Pennzoil usually performs well in UOAs. I've used the 0w20 flavor myself mainly due to the nice $10 rebates on a Walmart jug.
Also, notice your use of Platinum here exceeds the minimum Chrysler spec. They say you can use lowly conventional 5w20 here. That means you can comfortably go to the full oil change interval from the OLM and/or Owner's Manual recommendation with confidence.
