I had a pre CBS Strat for a few years. A friends son was learning to play and had a pretty good set of pipes too. I let him talk me right out of it.
Him and a few of his friends put a band together and started doing bars and weddings and such playing 60's-80's rock. If you had your eyes closed you'd swear you were listening to Billy Gibbons. I never felt bad about selling him that guitar,he made it sound better than I ever could have.
If you don’t know, you probably don’t want to know, what that’s worth now.

Wix filters used to be a good choice. Now you have to inspect every individual filter to see if it's Communist Crap, Polish or other European, or made in USA. Mann + Hummel has largely destroyed Wix.
I just posted this last night when going to put a new filter on after cleaning my adapter...Not sure what to make of it....

Whatever the owner's manual calls for.

...and an oil filter with an anti-drainback valve that actually works.

That reminds me, what brands actually make one with a good anti-drainback valve? I've been through WIX, Purolator and A/C Smelco only to notice they've failed within a month, usually sooner. Tried a Bosch I think it was, same thing. If my truck was 2WD, it wouldn't matter..

EPA wants carbon based fuels gone.

The Germans tried to perfect a rotary valve for their Messerschmitt's during WWII. They couldn't get it to work but later it became the Wankel rotary engine. Yeah,that didn't work so well either.
They didn't have the needed and required micro electronics needed.

Wait a minute. We've had cam-less engines for years. They're called two strokers. The slobbering jimmy was a diesel but it did have a cam. Now use that same basic piston port design with forced induction and the cam can go away. Now we add high pressure direct cylinder fuel injection. Now you have an engine that weighs 2/3 the weight,produces twice the torque with no valvetrain drag. Wonder why a design like that is not in production now?
Think 4 stroke.
