72' Mustang Frantz

Tp change, just a few hundred miles on a rebuild, 6 quarts of 10w30 Brad Penn #1, don't see the break in particles that the Wix 51515 had before, Wix replaced with an old school Fram HP1, return drains to pan and a needle valve on the inlet, engine oil pressure 45 at idle, 10 in the can, 75 at high rpm, a little over 20 in the can, slowing the flow for better cleaning as Ralph Wood would say.

I've always wanted to try one of those filters on one of my vehicles. I wonder how it would work on my 3.0 Duramax.

I had one on a 1968 Peugeot that the oil never got dirty. Engine was clean as new.

Yes it's a roll of toilet paper, a seriously dense roll of 500 sheet paper, not a roll of fluffy Charmin, depth cellulose just plain works , they still sell them new after all these years.

Yo work fine.I prefer the top loaders. You need to know what you are doing to use toilet paper in a frantz

They work great . My paper doesnt compress down that far.Paper isnt the same. I normally use Great Value 1000 from Walmart. Frantz and Jackmaster has good elements. I started with Frantz in 1964 with 2ply and Delo 100 W30. My favorites are mostly gone now. Still have the Australian Jackmaster Classic

The paper compressed a 1/2", it was my first roll and I let it have the full monte, 85 psi for a day, the second roll doesn't see more than 60 psi cold, 5-8 psi hot at idle, I throttled it back with the needle valve.

I like the gauge. I once put a self tapping hollow bolt in the top of a Frantz and added a Guage. I once put a Frantz on a fender and ran a clear plastic hose to the engine. That backfired on me. People thought if they bought a Frantz it went on the fender.

I had a Frantz on a Rambler. The oil always looked new. Put the Frantz on a Peugeot diesel. I cried like a baby when the oil turned black. Some soot is about 1/3 of a micron.

Thank you. I have a love affair with these filters. My favorites are about all gone now. Still have the Australian Jackmaster Classic. I see one that looks like a Jackmaster Classic at double the price.

I remember my father telling me our neighbor had one on his fuel oil tanks. Guy was a farmer so had one on his off road diesel and home heating oil tanks. Worked great.
