Will, I have a 'rude' question for you: Do you change your underpants
after a shower or bath? ;-) -- That's the question we used to ask people
who were buying oil for an oil change but not a filter when I was in the
auto parts (spares) biz.
It is the same idea, if you change your oil, but not your filter, it is
just like putting on dirty drawers after a bath. Filters aren't that
expensive in comparison to that bearing job down the road.
Here's to clean oil, filters and underwear!
