are not equivalent in performance and durability to
authorized parts may impair the effectiveness of the
emission control system and may have a bearing on
the outcome of a warranty claim.

even more critical for longest life and best perfor-
mance. particularly critical are air and fuel filters,
spark plug heat range, cooling air intake area and
proper gaps of coil and plug.
