Hello Gang, Got my Lab results so I thought I'd share em will you all.
            I might be cool to see other peoples results for the same
            motor. Maybe some of you could list your readings next to
            mine so we can see the variations. I'm a lttle nervous about
            my K+N now Bob

Notes: Universal averages show typical wear for the Dodge 3.9
       The exam turned up above average iron,lead,tin and silicon
       Iron was not too, bad but lead and tin (bearings) are getting up
       there.
       The viscosity would be high for a 15W40 silicon (dirt) could be
      the cause of some of the wear. Suggest checking the air
filtration and resampling next oil change to monitor wear
