Even the 7" long NAPA GOLD #1459 will fit but it is expensive.

Correct me if I am wrong here, but it seems to me entirely possible that the marginal performance upgrade would be negligible over the span of 100,000 miles. The noted difference could be in seriously hot environments, but then out Jeep's (renix or not) fight enough problems that all plumbing ends up being modified.

I digressed but the meat here is the gains, with proper care, do not make a lot of sense over a significant time or mileage. Am I wrong here?
