I will be installing a Frantz oil filter on my newly rebuilt daily driver and was curious if anyone here has used one. I know there are a couple of different brands of these systems, but yes I am talking about the bypass style that uses a roll of toilet paper for a filter element. 8)
I love the idea of using synthetic oil, but the cost to me is just too high to dump out and refill on a regular basis. These bypass filters are supposed to keep the filter clean to sub micron levels and although the element needs to be changed every 3000 miles or so, the oil itself being cleaned in such a manner can be used for a LONG time.
Anyway, I am going to give this a whirl since it is a fresh engine and I have become very interested in this idea of secondary oil filtration. And the cheapskate in me loves the idea of cleaning and using the same crankcase of oil for 100,00 miles.
Soooo, anyone actually using one of these?
