I got the results back for my 2nd oil analysis. If you're interested,
you can check it out at:

(Or just go to http://www.cs.fredonia.edu/~stei0302/www/dakota/ then

Oil report #1 was with a 14x3" open element K&N, no cat, and the MP
PCM, mostly summer/fall driving. (very little snow)
Oil report #2 was with the stock air can, a Fram air filter, cat
installed, and the stock PCM. Mostly winter driving (lots of snow and cold)
The only real significant difference is the iron content went up. Also,
the amount of fuel in the oil went down too. I'm not sure if it may have
contaminated the sample or not, but on the 2nd one, when I was collecting
the sample, some of it ran along the engine block first before going into
the bottle.
They made a comment again this time about how the viscosity was more
like 5W30 than 10W30. Anyone know what the reason for that might be?
Right after I took sample #2, I re-installed the 14x3" K&N, removed the
cat, and re-installed the MP PCM. In 3,000 miles, we'll see what happens...
