Does a VTVM still have the highest input impedence, therefore the
least effect on the circuit it's measuring?
I think the 10MOhm/V figure of the basic VTVM was the figure
to beat when they designed the FET-input (and subsequent)
meters, and so they did. (Or at least meet it.)

Check, you may not be able to change the oil filter without removing

Also check for interferences around the filter housing. I believe

Use kerosene, they stink something horrible on diesel fuel. Smoke too.
