^^^ HOLY CRAP!

I thought TP was designed to break down when in contact with liquids.

I am sure some TP gets into the oil.

I know a fella that runs one of those or something similar. Swears by them. Been running one on his 7.3 for a number of years. I imagine they were a bit cheaper when he got his.
