Board. Also, depending on when your engine was produced, it
may have an assigned emission durability period. See below
for the engine emissions durability period that applies to your

Exhaust emission control system
This system reduces the amount of pollutants discharged into
the atmosphere by the exhaust of this engine. The fuel, igni-
tion and exhaust systems of this engine have been carefully
designed and constructed to ensure an effi cient engine with
low exhaust pollution levels.
