Yea..I hated to state a obvious next step,..I send my oil to those guys every3-4 K miles when I change it,,.I also usally use the filter canister oil..not sure if that's smart but that's where all the metals are I assume..!

It's like $30 or something, and it's an awesome tool. And sorta nerd- fun too.
