Also, the long ago 15,000 mile sample was of Mobile 10W-30 Blend, so the "Unit/Location Averages" are skewed.

I wouldn't count on that.

Just wait until my new 7500rpm rev-limiter ECU arrives.

Nice wear, the only thing I find interesting is that the oil is thickening. If you do the conversion, one sample has the oil a very high 40 wt. and the other right on the border of becoming a 50 wt. Redline doesn't typically do this, especially in a relatively short interval.

Not really sure. I know Redline isn't really ideal for daily drivers and is much better suited for track duty. The only thing I can think of is that the shorter trips you do really does a number on the additive package and the oil oxidizes. The insolubles and fuel dilution were blocked off by the cardomain thing on the report.

If you're going to use Amsoil, the correct ATF is their Universal ATF.
