   That's a very unreal way of real thinking. Let's take   
   precisely your analogy.   
      
   If you had a Ferrari 205GTO, one of 60-or-so ever made,   
   you'd probably crap an autobahn or three if you got it   
   back from the shop after an oil change and it had the   
   same oil filter on it as you'd find on a Ford F150.   
      
   And we'd all laugh, because Ferrari specs the same   
   filter for the 250 GTO as Ford specs for the F150.   
      
   And, honestly, if I had a Rolls Royce, I would NOT   
   put the original belt on for fear it would fail   
   prematurely.
