Thanks for the link to blackstone. I do want to see how the UOA are on both my Ram 2500 and Jetta TDI.

Yeah, That's what I got. 3 gallons! Set me back several green backs. I got enough Trans oil too. Some funnels, etc. Wally world is great even though it killed off mom and pop hardwares. I live in a small town where a lot of home grown buisnesses have died out.
You never did mention what Psi and Temp monitoring equipment you used. From what I've read I want to keep a check on those to prevent costly repairs. I've seen a couple monitors mentioned in other threads but now I've read so much that all the threads are blending together. I'm trying to short cut the rereading. In any case thanks for your input.

Sorry about that. I thought you were interested in what I was measureing.

I'm using 3 Autometer gauges with multiple sensors. i.e. Oil pressure, Fuel Pressure, and Boost are monitored with one gauge, but I manually switch (on the fly) from one sensor to the other. Temp: Water, Tans (hot line and pan), and Diff. And a stand alone gauge for pyro.
