Inaccurate readings

Very inaccurate, not recommended. This was used to test a 2013 Subaru Legacy with an engine under 60k and no known engine issues. No burning or oil leakage, no power issues, dealer tested.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Somewhat serviceable

The compression tester comes with a quick connect hose extension and a pair of adapter fittings. Since the standard hose is quite short I think you'll all want to use an extension as I have for all my machines. The testerโ€ฆ

Pros

  • Almost everything is fine.
