I'm not tying to be a jerk here, but what would happen if I parked my car for those two weeks? It sounds as if this guy just graduated from the "Yesterday I Couldn't Spell 'Mechanic' and Today I are One" school. If they were only good for 'two weeks', why bother putting them on the engine in the first place? I can see the corporate meeting in Dearborn now:
"Hank, we're making too much damn money on these cars, cut our profits back a bit by installing those worthless oil filters on every one of them!"
I promise to be nicer in the future.
