Thought this one might be interesting to share, it was cool to be able to see and monitor the pressure over time and with climbing temperature, and to see the difference after repair.

Thanks Sadel, this is a great reminder to not overlook the basics…the longer I've been doing this, the more I need to be reminded!!

Hey Todd, Yes totally agree with you. I myself was ready to expect the worst, with also knowing there's variable displacement oil control and all the fancy items related to the oiling system, to then only be reminded to simply check for basic oil cap center piece. I think I was just as relieved as the owner of the vehicle ,
