S.A. is Sulfated Ash, the metallic content of the oil when burned off. I looked up the PDS for your oil. Starting TBN is 15+ Ca 4500 SA was the highest I've ever seen at 1.72%.
Pretty stout oil, definitely not for a diesel with exhaust emissions!
Where did you buy It? Based on your UOA you could probably run this oil for 25,000 miles or more, the early numbers look good. But I'd want more data along the way to confirm.

Amsoil Sig Series oils all have 2.2% ash as per Amsoil.
