Interesting observations over time with the use of the 5W-50 -- it's almost as if it's 'healing' your engine based on the trends of the wear metals and the amount of additive/dispersant still present in the oil. I'm sure the reduced usage intervals have helped as well, but it looks like the oil is doing well.

Posting up the report I just got back from Blackstone a few days ago after my 65k change. Slightly longer interval than the first sample, but the Liqui Moly Molygen 5W-40 seems to be holding up well according to their comments.
