Rings aren't seating very fast. How long did you run the factory fill? What were the other two oil changes - oil type & miles? Even with all the fuel, the wear #'s are fine. I'd try some SuperTech dino for 5000 miles and then revisit.

SuperTech dino in a direct injected turbo engine for 5000 miles??? Gosh at least a blend! Or 3000 miles at most! Mobil Super HM blend or Havoline HM blend will do 5k though. And do it cheaply. But I'd stay with synthetic only.
 
Gosh, that's a lot of fuel dilution. On the other hand, look at the test/retest results Parisha reported on his 1.5T Civic: makes one wonder whether these results have value at all.

When did OAI start quantifying fuel dilution above 5%? That used to be the maximum.

the first report i received listed the component as a diesel. they've since amended and now the value is ">5%"
 
OP, did you notice an increase in crankcase level? Even 5% dilution would add 1/4 or 1/3 of a quart of volume to the sump. Wear metals look OK so maybe even this level of dilution is harmless though worrying.
