...for the life of your engine.
Your wallet...how a Frantz Filter will save you money.
With oil costs going nowhere but up!!
With oil costs going nowhere but up, it makes sense to get the most you can from your increasingly expensive liquid asset!
Many high performance car owners change their oil far more often than the manufacturers recommend, because they want to look after their engine in the best way possible. We know of people with highly tuned engines who change the oil at 1000 mile intervals for this reason.3000 miles and 5000 miles are also very common.
Currently, many manufacturers specify 10,000 to 12,000 miles between oil changes, for a petrol engined car, if using high quality synthetic oils. The changes are always more frequent for diesel engines, more like 5000 to 8000 miles.
Most people with high performance engines are now convinced of the benefits of the best fully synthetic oils such as Amsoil, Motul and Mobil 1, but at £8 a litre, £40 per change minimum, this can work out rather expensive and also time consuming!
Let's analyse the costs and savings
10,000 miles per year = 10 oil changes= £400 in oil alone. This is a very extreme case.
Many people pay £80 to £150 for an oil change at the garage or main dealer, depending on where it is, and what oil has been used. If so, and given an oil change every 10,000 miles, that's 15 changes in 150,000 miles.
15 x £50 to £100 = £750 to £1500 (labour and oil
for a garage oil change)
Total = between £750 and £1500 depending on labour charge.
...or, if you do it yourself, 15 x 40 = £600 + £35 for 7 new
filters = £635.
With a bypass oil filtration system fitted, and top quality fully synthetic
oil, the costs are as follows for the same 150,000 miles.
Fitting the bypass filtration system = £177 plus about 1
hour fitting.
5 litres of top quality 100% synthetic oil. Say £50.
15 new bypass filter cores @ about £5 each = £75.
Total = approx £325
NOTE:- You will also save on petrol, due to less frictional losses in the engine.
So the savings on servicing alone are from £310 to £1175 over the same 150,000 miles.
Once fitted, a bypass oil filter allows you peace of mind
By ensuring that the oil in the engine is as clean as possible, you'll protect it against wear and prolong its life. You no longer need to worry about the oil getting dirty, and damaging your engine.
On a high performance engine fitting a bypass oil filter will protect it better than if you change your oil once a week, let alone every 1000 miles.
The problem is that the wear particles start to build up immediately the engine is started for the first time after the oil change. It's breathing-in air, some silica particles get past the air filter, these and carbon particles from combustion are washed off the cylinder bores by the oil, and there they will stay, building up and causing wear, till they are finally flushed out with the next oil change.
None of these wear particles can stay in the oil once you fit the bypass oil filter. Nor does the condensation water in the oil which combines with sulphuric blow-by combustion gases to form acids, which accelerate the degradation of the oil. By eliminating the water, the acids are prevented from forming.
On a heavy lorry, or a long distance touring coach, which often has an oil capacity of over 8 gallons, and an oil change often once a week (at 3000 miles), the savings are enormous...the systems have been tested in the USA on heavy haulage lorries, and many have done over 500,000 miles without ever actually changing the oil! Obviously the oil in the system does get 'refreshed' by being brought up to level when the filter core needs changing, which means the levels of manufacturers additives never become depleted, but the whole oil volume never needs draining due to being full of dirt, which is the case normally.
Mack, Cummins, Scania, and Hummer use bypass oil filtration as standard!
This pattern is being repeated across the US, where the systems are being fitted increasingly by local authority fleet providers, who report very worthwhile economies. Interestingly, Mack, Cummins, and Scania, use bypass oil filtration as standard now on their heavy haulage vehicles. Hummer fit them as standard. Police forces and other Federal fleet managers in the USA, as well as taxi companies and hauliers, have recorded striking economies in equipment, and labour costs with less downtime per vehicle.
Oil that has been filtered through this system is measurably 16 grades cleaner than new oil, according to the ISO 4406 contamination scale. New oil is rated at 18/15.
A Frantz filter will attain ISO 4406 to a standard of less than 14/11. The figures relate to numbers of particles under 5 microns /15 microns per 1 ml of oil.
Oil which can be kept clean in this way liberates the maximum power from the engine, and also maximises fuel economy. Dirty oil wastes power, by causing friction losses, and thus also wastes fuel.

Frantz Oil Filter will pay for itself
The Frantz Oil Filter will pay for itself in ten (10) oil changes or less, and can be taken from car to car, engine to engine forever.
