I have four Frantz filters (one each on oil and fuel on my two diesels) and one "filter technology" on oil on the other vehicle.
If these links don't work just copy and paste.

Frantz were not available for a while in Aust except import direct from USA. Now there's an agent in Victoria so you can deal with him rather than thru the US.

G'day FB,
I'm using a Frantz (oil) filter on my GU Patrol (TD42)..
Bought mine direct from US prior to Vic. distributor being appointed...
From my experience, the Frantz people (George Walker Enterprises) are very, very good to deal with (could not have been more helpful), and I would recommend them highly...
My decision was based on the fact that a few people I know personally have been using Frantz for many years, + the wealth of "anecdotal" evidence from this & other forums that convinced me that by-pass filtering has to be a good thing...
At the very least, it can't do any harm (can it??)

Regards, Ed. C.

FB- Im using a Baldwin B50-$13 for the filter the alloy housing around $80 it has a built in flow restrictor in every filter so it doesn't interfere with the engines oil pressure. Use good high temp resistant hoses, quality fittings & reliability should not be an issue. Im using it on a 03 GU 4.2 TDi running Caltex Delo 400 with oil sampling & are about to stretch the changes out to 10,000 Ks instead of 5,000. I will be only changing the B50 every 5000 the sampling will let be know how far to take it out. $45 for Sampling, costly at first but once you know how far to take the changes out to without oil contamination or breakdown it will be money redeemed.
I used to be a 5000K oil change man all my life until I tried this & are currently using this on a fleet of Cat C-16 600HP Kenworths no regrets so far.
Hope this is of some help in your decision.

Cheers Steve

Steve, maybe you can go for longer.
I am using Delvac 1 with no additional filters and UOA has confirmed that even under hard service conditions the oil can go to 10,000 plus.

I knew of an Internationat company who owned more than 1000 diesel generators driven by engines from 10hp to 2200hp. A lot of the machines sent to Australia had the "toilet roll" filtration systems on them but they did have problems in Australia. Supply problems and availability. They ended up removing the lot and sent the whole lot to the tip. Thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of stainless steel housings. They then fitted Racor filters.

Day Brett,

from my trucking days i seem to remember that a lot of people would not use the correct filters but would put any old toilet rolls in to the filter housing. maybe this is why they are called toilet roll filters and maybe this is the reason a lot of users had trouble with them.

regards

Bob

I think the correct rolls were made from a cotton but were the same appearance as a standard bog roll.

THe real problem was that standard toilet rolls are Biodegradable, they basically collapse when they come in contact with oil or water. The correct paper rolls are NON- biodegradable.. I used to be an agent for Filter 2000, now Filter Technology..
