This test is apparently dine on a bench setup..One thing that bothers me
is that the assembly isn't allowed to heat up, such as it would in the
running car. As someone who made a living testing devices and systems,
I have to cringe when I see tests run that don't approximate the real
world conditions.
Also, why would they use 90W gear lube when it's expressly prohibited?
