I had a Frantz as a fuel filter for a while. It caught a lot of junk a 2 micron CAT filter (1r-0749) let by.
ya after the pump pumps oil through your 20 or 30 micron oil filter it bypasses a small but constant amount through the tp and dumps it directly back in the panlol, now Im really confused. So its an additional filter kit used in conjunction with the stock oil filter?
You periodically feel the outlet hose. As long as it's as hot as the inlet, you know you have good flow. Frantz efficiency is highly variable according to the type of TP use but it's the cheapest bypass element around.
So you gotta spend $20-25 to find out it's time to change the filter? Kinda cuts into the profit margin, doesn't it? Spend $20 to learn when the right time to change a 25 cent roll of TP? Much simpler and cheaper to compare the inlet and outlet line temps. In fact, that's what many pros will recommend as well.

To start with, eat my shorts you arrogant freak.
It's not necessarily cheaper to sample the oil than to change it. It depends on what oil you are using. If you are drinking the Amsoil coolaid it definitely is. What you said about the oil lasting 4-5 X longer is sometimes true (depending on the operational environment) but it applies to ANY oil, from a $4/qt mineral to a 15/qt PAO synthetic. Anyway, I'm not planing to debate this with you because you are a fool and my Dad taught me not to get in ******* contests with skunks. I just added some technical content so I could tell you to eat my shorts.
