Hi Stewart and others, Perfect, I ordered the ket and the optional pump. I'm running the same filter and almost the same oil as Stewart and am running the same van and engine. I've got my fingers crossed that I'll get good readings. I'll be looking to you folks to help with the interpretation. Eric Caron 85 GL auto 1.9 original engine 144,000 K miles and seems to be running well.
