It seems like a small group of us are interested in clarifying the value of
the Trasco system. Personally I do not see $21.50 for an oil test every
5,000 or 10,000 miles to be pricey. The challenge is to NOT fly by the seat
of our pants but to document in writing accurate results with dates,
mileage, MPG and anything else we can agree would be useful information.

Trasco should be doing this, not us.
