Default Used oil analysis 2.4 turbo

This is the UOA for the first change since new at 7111 Km (4418 miles) and 6.5 months. Fuel dilution is "moderate" at 5.7% and has resulted in lowered viscosity below spec for a 20 weight oil.
I typically drive a combinations of short and long trips, but weather here in Ontario CA was very cold this winter which doesn't help. The turbo engine has both port and direct injection, so I thought fuel dilution would be within spec, but not the case.
Looks like more frequent changes to get more data. New oil is Amsoil 0w20 Signature series.

Changing driving habits, much better oil, more frequent oci, or bumping up a grade.
