Looks OK. @ 10K kms on the ELF. maybe could do a couple kms more without concern though I would think you may have better options than a low saps diesel oil. No oxidative thickening though KV100 out of range though only marginally. Fuel?

How has the fuel mileage and general engine performance been? These are my gauges: Fuel mileage and low RPM smoothness and full throttle torque maintenance. I don't perform UOA as Ive never pushed past 7K miles on a long life.

Average fuel milage is 8.3 km/liter on the Total so far. Engine sounds smooth. Driving is a mix of highway and sideroads., 70-30.
The oil was not changed with a TBN of 2.2 left....I can push is more to maybe 15 000kms.

2.2 it's critical low
don't read not clever comment from blackstonelab
 
Normal OCI of a Kia Sedona is 12000km, severe is 6 000km in Canada.
The oil was tested with TBN at 6 000km still showing a TBN of 6.6.(with old TBN test)
At 10700 km TBN was 2.2, with new TBN test. Oil was run during winter months too.

That was the reason I left the oil till 12 000km when it was changed.
