why do we put a lighter weight oil when the big companies that spend millions on oil research recommend 10w-30?

why do we put a 160 series tire (or a 300 series if youre on the Hummer board) when the same companies recommend 175 series?

same goes for lightweight non-stock rims

why do we switch "cool" camshafts when the same companies recommend stockers?

why has there been at least 3 threads dedicated to aftermarket K&N air filters

this is not a debate
the question was: Does anyone know of other filters that would work on an Echo?

turn up the heater or stoke the fire, you gotta warm up a little
