POV - New air filter technology developed by a certified lube tech IF IT IS GREEN YOU KNOW IT'S GOOD. ARE YOU SURE, SO DOES IT TURN RED WHEN IT'S NOT GOOD THEN? WE DON'T KNOW. IT WILL BE LIKE SCHRODINGERS FILTER OR SOMETHING. BUT RIGHT NOW IT'S GREEN, SO RIGHT NOW IT'S GOOD. GOOD TO GO. SO YOU HAVE TO WAIT TILL IT COMES BACK NEXT TIME AND THEN SEE IF IT MAYBE CHANGES TO YELLOW FIRST. I MEAN, THAT'D BE KIND OF FUN.

If it is green, you know it's good. Are you sure though? So does it turn red when it's not good then? We don't know. It'll be like Schrodinger's filter or something. But right now it's green, so right now it's good. Good to go. So you have to wait till it comes back next time and then see if it maybe changes to yellow first. I mean, that'd be kind of fun.
