What is it you claim tells a person that the interval was
12k miles?

I looked at some of the Blackstone Lab reports for Hondas.
What seems most telling about how the engine is doing are
(1) how the analysis changes from one oil change to the next
(for the given mileage interval) and (2) how the analysis
compares to the universal averages for a set interval.
