Not sure why the moly was so high, at 151 ppm its way above what Castrol Edge has always used in the past (around 80 ppm).
Maybe a formula change??? (Your assembly lube would have showed up on the previous oil sample, so its not from assembly lube.)
Viscosity dropped way too much, mostly due to fuel dilution. Some may be due to VII permanent shearing.
I'd suggest going to one of the great Walmart Castrol Edge black bottle 0w40 or any 0w40 you see on the shelf at Walmart (Pennzoil, Mobil1) because fuel dilution is a problem, and that will give you more viscosity reserve to spare. Your oil is currently getting too thin.
From the fuel dilution indications, those rings look like they are not sealing properly. Just a ring job without making sure the cylinders are circular and not slightly oval, means they aren't preventing blowby. Oil consumption is corrected, so the oil control rings and return holes were cleaned out anyway.

Nothing wrong with the cartridge oil filter design. The ADBV is built in to the housing, not the filter. It works.
Here is the XG9018 you should be using for maximum filtering performance:
