+5 (or whatever we're up to.)

That's nice 30wt oil you have there...

It would also be interesting to get KV40 measured considering VI is the big reason people use this oil.

I think the OLM at 40% with 7200 miles has a lot to do with the highway driving and the warm So Calif weather as I have the same car and engine and got a lot less miles with the OLM.

I got about 5850 miles at 15% OLM on the factory oil.
I presently have about 4640 miles at 40% OLM after the oil change.
 
I have the same engine as well (the Sport model) and the OLM is somewhere between 25 and 30% when I have about 6,000 miles on the oil.
 
The OLM funtion appears to account for differing conditions.
I drove our '12 (not DI, of course) 8700 miles from new to 15% MM.
My wife then began using the car, and her commute involves about fifteen miles with plenty of traffic.
The MM hit 15% after about 6500 miles of mainly warm weather use.
We had a dry fiftyish day on 12/22, which gave me the perfect opportunity to change the oil from the second fill of PP 0W-20 to the current fill of HGMO API SM 0W-20.
I expect more rapid decline in the current cold, although we did make a ~450 mile trip this weekend, which will have the effect of adding roughly that many miles, since long trips bring almost no decline in oil life.
