The consistently low Flash Point readings and fuel percentages reported point to fuel dilution which will affect viscosity. Many short trips without the engine warming up completely could be a cause, or an ECU/fuel system problem. That should be examined before changing oils.
The spike in iron just occurred, and as already stated, a particle many have streaked a bearing causing the spike. That hoprfully should come down with the next oil run and UOA.
The 5W40 Euro should be fine ( the Amsoil 5W30 performance looked good except for the lower flashpoints caused by fuel dilution ) but you might consider cutting back the oil change interval to 5-6K until you get a handle on whats causing the fuel dilution.
Enjoying the "boost" a lot can "boost" your fuel levels, especially without a thorough warm-up.
