...if you do not know how to use a multimeter.
...if you do not like to work with difficult-to-identify parts in hard-to-reach places.
...if you go crazy when systems stop working when you need them most.

I'm sure I missed a thread on this... but what's wrong with Mobil 1? It's the most over-engineered product of the last 20 years. Good enough for the space shuttle...

$500 doesn't buy much when you're talking about a 928. That should probably be $1000. Or more.
