Here are the results from a 7100 mile run on QSUD 5w-30 SN/GF-5/dexos1 in my 2012 Cruze Eco 1.4T. The OLM indicated roughly 30% life left. The car had about 11k miles on it at the time of the sample. I pulled it halfway through the change when sucking it out with my MityVac. Most of the miles are highway miles. I have a longish commute, so the oil gets a chance to heat up nicely most days of the week.
The left column is my car, the right are the universal averages.

I'm planning on running the current fill of dexos1 QSUD 5w-30 until the OLM tells me to change. That should be about 9500-10k miles with my driving habits.
Thoughts?
