This analysis was done after 10k miles on the Rotella T6 and 27k miles on the odometer of my GTI. Approximately 1/2qt was added around 8k miles. Car has a stage 1 tune and aftermarket intake.
Rotella T6 5w40 10k miles, 2009 VW GTI 27k miles

That looks great! If you've got the average amount of wear in 10K that folks are getting in 5.7K, you're doing well...
With TBN of 3.1 after 10k miles you can easily extend OCI to 12-13k miles with T6 and similar driving condition
I think you have found your oil right here. I wouldn't even worry about trying anything else.
Thanks for posting!

Per Blackstone's comments, 5,700 miles for the VW 2.0L TSI engine

^FIM. thanks. (Foot in mouth).
Well...incredible report.

Yeah, I'm pretty happy with it!
Thanks for the replies.
My driving habits vary quite a bit, so I'll probably just stick to the 10k OCI with the knowledge that I have a little buffer left.
FYI for any other VW folks out there, this oil actually does not hold any VW ratings, but I'm pretty confident it would meet all their requirements if tested.

Rotella shines again!
I wonder if this is an example of the lack of accuracy of blackstone's fuel test. That's a pretty significant viscosity loss to not have any fuel dilution.

How is engine power and fuel mileage? UOA are only one small piece of the pie.

Yes, I believe.
