A popular type of spin-on filter is shown here. Because it has to handle the entire oil flow rate (about 10 quarts per minute) it can only trap the larger foreign particles. Other abrasive particles that can wear out your engine go right on through! |
In addition, this type of filter has a by-pass valve: under cold starting conditions, or when the filtering element is too dirty, this valve opens, allowing dirty, unfiltered oil to flow through your engine, and you never know when this happens. |

The Frantz Filter
is a depth type by-pass filter in which oil from the engine flows very
slowly through a dense filter media and is thoroughly cleaned. Depth filtration
(as opposed to surface filtration) is universally recognized as the
most efficient. The design of the Frantz Oil Cleaner provides 4.4" of filter
media depth through which the oil must pass. No other filter design
approaches this media depth and resulting efficiency.
The Frantz Filter is installed off the sending unit with a "TEE" which is included in each unit kit. This piece is required for most installations (over 95%). If you find that your unit requires a special adapter (as shown at left), contact our sales team. We offer adapters as an accessory part only. |
Oil enters the filter through the center fitting, flows upward through the center tube and then downward through the filter media. As the clean oil leaves the filter media, it passes through a fine wire screen assembly to the outlet fitting. A 1/16" restrictor orifice is placed in the inlet fitting to control the flow rate through the filter. Because of the low velocity of the oil passing through the dense tissue, it is easily separated from the contaminant particles which are readily disposed of by changing the filter element. The Frantz Oil filter/cleaner protects every precision part of your engine against wear by removing the smallest harmful particles as well as up to six ounces of water. |
As long as your Frantz Oil Filter/Cleaner is properly serviced and your engine is properly maintained we guarantee the Frantz Oil Filter/Cleaner will keep your oil analytically clean 100% of the time. The Frantz Oil Filter will pay for itself in ten (10) oil changes or less, and can be taken from car/engine to car/engine forever. Clean oil means greater compression, a better running
engine, greater reliability, and longer engine life. |
