Maybe some people just get tired of the place.

Some just check in now and then to see if anything has changed.

Very simple, kick over somebody's rice bowl and they attack.

The Rexthane is nothing like a plain urethane. It doesn't have any tung oil or other vegetable oil. It is much closer to the 2 package urethanes except easier to use.

Any of your bottom end stuff should do, ST, STP, NAPA Pro Selects, Car Quest Red, Purolator, Fram, Pronto, etc. Only slightly more for AC or Motorcraft or maybe the Toyota. How good is any of it? Hard to say. Me? I look for a filter made in America by an American company.

If you have the money, why not? Many people are quite happy to pay a premium for quality. Works out of the box, secure, and tech service without the Linux geeks command line lectures.
