When one considers the amount of time, cost of upgrades and potential cost of repair due to internal lubrication problems, I have a hard time accepting your point.
From a personal point of view I have no problem incurring the minor extra cost and work needed to protect what I have invested in my engine. Plus I want to run it, not fix it, because a cheap filter failed.
I doubt that "probably good enough" is an answer that will gain much acceptance.  |
