does the brand of filter matter? i mean these days motors run for 200,000
miles. the rest of the car falls apart before the motor goes. and in a car
like your roadster how many miles will you put on it per year?
i understand synth gives you a tiny bit more horsepower, but a supercharger
will make a difference you can feel.
