Tom,
I used to run the Frantz filters on all my cars and in fact have two of them
in parallel on my 7.3 liter Ford Powerstroke. I do not follow their
directions and change the oil and filters at the recommended 5000 mile
interval. The benefit I receive is oil so clean at 5000 miles that I can
still see the hash marks on the dipstick in the darkness of my barn. It
keeps the soot in the diesel to a very low level and cannot be bad for the
engine. No I don't sell them, I'm just a fanatic for clean oil.
