Very low metal wear rates for a break-in engine with strong residual TBN/KV @100*C.
OCI could be extended to 7500 or beyond.

Did 3 oil changes within the first 5k miles when I first got it. Might have been excessive, but I'm sure it helped with the low wear numbers.
 
Concur with you. It probably helps , numerically.
Instead of 4 ppm Fe today , you could be at 8-10 ppm at similar OCI .... which is still more than adequate.

It will be interesting to see what the next one will show because I'm driving it harder.

Less then 3ppm per 1K miles. Talk about being nic picky.

Nice flush procedure. That definitely helped flush out the break in metals leaving you a perfect starting point wear wise.

Is this a EB engine or just a DI engine without the turbo? I'm posting 2.3 EB UOA shortly with similar miles but using Motorcraft 5W-30 blend. Ironically our iron and aluminum numbers are just about reversed.
