I threw caution to the wind and I've run spring air all summer long, I have been way down on power, but I think I get less wear. I'm going to run it till there is none left in the tires, I have been looking on craigslist for an SE air scavenger for my winter air change.

Syn2 Air is the only air I use... I don't care that it is from the lowest bidder and smog ridden L.A. air. I now can hear my stereo on the interstate and no clunk when putting it in first. I've heard there is a recall on the CVO hydraulic air .. Something having to do with it being flammable and may cause death if it ignited.

Stop being a cheapass *** and go buy new.

The scavengers work about as well as cell phone lost and found at San Antonio International....

If you "Pull the Trigger" ( man I hate that phrase ) and have it aimed correctly you can "evacuate" the old air immediately ... I'm just sayin' ...

you guys are kidding, right?? You're not real serious are you? I've run the spring air all summer as the temps never got over 80° and I thought I would be ok. Do I have to change now fall is here? What affect does the dew point have on the humidity of my spring air versus the fall air.
Man, thought I was doing the right thing because of the polar reflux of last year......

If you live in an area that experiences an Indian Winter than I would pull the trigger on the fall air. Because if you skip straight to winter air and an Indian Summer occurs it would be a big safety issue that may cause injury or death.

Send in a sample for testing. You might be able to run your current air until next year.
