Your reason number 2 is about as likely as your first.

I checked the oil temperature on a self contained unit once and it was 285+ degrees. No thanks! Ill stick with engine oil through it at 220 degrees.

I agree. Even synthetic motor oil is cheap and easy to change and doesn't make me change my mind enough to go to self-lube system. I would rather have fresh stuff often. I really haven't heard of many catastrophic failures.

ECS did mine and I am extremely happy. I was leery also but they are the real deal.
