You're doing the right things, Baz. Mechanical condition is important for aircraft in the same way it is important for motorcycles.

The brake fluid that leaked out of this slave was very pretty. That which came out of my bike...not so much.

This fellow does a pretty good job with his tutorials on V4's.....
