FWIW, I recommend this vendor if you want a proven magnet filter to protect both your engine and/or your transmission. Plus they are less expensive. I've used them on my personal and business vehicles. My highest mileage vehicle so far is a 1998 Caravan with 160,000 miles. With no engine or transmission problems. And yes I follow regular recommended fluid changes.

It shows what is in my oil. Just look at the other column and it tells you what it should be at.

Funny you mentioned Boss Products! We are a dealer for them and use them as our main synthetic supplier! My truck has been on Boss since the first oil change w/ a Lucas Synthetic additive.

I WISH I had this test done after our 4000Km towing vacation! Mind you I pbly would have had a heart attack to! Lol

It looks like you're either dangerously low on, or completely out of fiber, high fructose corn syrup, and yellow dye #5.
