    Just curious, and I know it's not necessary, but does anyone use a Techstream to activate the oil pump to prime the system after an oil change? I was thinking, I believe it's an electric pump, you could turn it on to fill the oil filter housing before you drive it. Kind of like filling your oil canister before spinning it on.
