This is exceptionally useful information.

Perhaps we can get someone with Stillens to hook up this setup and try it out? We can get some numbers to put a better label on the actual difference between the two. Very useful info for those that daily drive their cars and don't feel like removing their bumper every 10-20k miles to check their filters.

There are trade-offs on all sides, of course. I wonder if they have a similar setup for Android. I will be ALL OVER it if so.

TJLazer - what was the outside temperature at the time of your reading?
