Nothing new to me..... I've been asked that question at practically all
the typical local parts and tire stores... "Oh and who makes that?"
seems to be the question of the day....
I loved buying and oil filter from such a place a while back... first he
asked the "who makes that?" question... then he looked it up on his
computer... looked amazed... and disappeared into the back... (this was
one of those fairly spic-n-span, clean, modern parts stores...) he came
out from the back... with a TR oil filter... the box was covered in
dust... it looked like it had been sitting for years... Inside, the
filter looked fine... though the oil filter gasket was suspect...
