Has anyone tried the Trasko unit?  Sounds neat.  Just curious if it lives up to its claims.

and click on the demo.  warning for dialup users!  :lol:

that filter is probably the best.  the amsoil filter says it goes down to a micron, but unless it gets the oil from black to like-new again, i doubt its as good.

Thats a cool system for sure.

They are on the verge of WAY to big for our engine compartment though.
I just built a single filter system for a bypass. I still need to get a better filter but the oil lines, filter mount is all done at least.

I'm going to use a 1 micron filter if I can find one.

I installed one of the Frantz units on my car.  So far it's working fantastic.  My oil used to get as black as tar and very thick, even though I run Mobil synthetic.  After two weeks of use the oil is clear with a hint of grey.  We'll see how it works out in the long run.  :D
