I'm a total newbie with this stuff and I've been trying to learn here on BITOG. I've been poking around in the old posts and I saw a post where someone was talking about using the NTZ AL-09 micro-filter on his vehicle (in an oil application). There was a photo of the filter installed and a discussion of the benefits. I've searched but can't find the post again.
I was not familiar with bypass micro filtration. I googled a bit to learn more, but didn't find much beyond the NTZ website, which make some pretty strong claims:
Removes the smallest contamination from fluid (2 micron and smaller)
Cleaner fluid equals less friction, resulting in fuel economy improvement of 3-4% *
Double the life of the transmission and engine
Safely extend oil drain intervals 3-5 times longer, reduce maintenance costs
Can be installed on an engine or transmission. One time purchase – filter can be moved from fleet to fleet
NTZ’s bypass micro filter is installed in addition to the full flow filter and cleans oil to a better than new condition
Environmentally friendly – reduces oil use and disposal costs

So, with all of that said, is anyone using these on their personal vehicles?
What is your take on them?
