Blackstone UOA

Just another boring UOA from my wife's car... only reason this OCI didn't go to 15k is because I'm not changing oil in the driveway in the winter. Added MOS2 on this change, and did see a nice drop in iron (not sure if it's totally related). Oil was dark from the MOS2, but while draining you could still see the amber color of the oil, so it wasn't actually too dirty. I don't quite agree with Blackstone in that the reason it is lower was a shorter OCI- it was only 400 miles shorter. With a TBN of 2.4 @ roughly 12k miles, is there any way to gauge how long it could go?
Only special notes are I have been running FL-400S-sized filters instead of the FL-910s, I am not sure if this helps contribute to the low insolubles or not. This current OCI was a Bosch Distance+ 3422. It still fits under the factory plastic apron, so I see no reason not to pick up the additional filtration area. I stuck on a NAPA Platinum 41516 this change. Considering this engine is driven 70 miles per day average, and I enjoy taking it to the redline frequently (even though it's slow), I'm pretty happy with how it's wearing. I have no doubt the engine will last much longer than the 6F35 transmission. Thoughts?
