A couple of weeks ago, I installed a Frantz toilet paper filter on my Saturn 1.9L '95 SL2 and can say that I am very pleased with it. During the first 500 miles I have noticed a substantial reduction in engine noise. The engine is barely even noticeable now at a stop or during a cruise and have also noticed a slight increase in power. The engine oil is the same Castrol GTX 5W-30 that I have used since I bought the car. I have a Sony CD player with AM/FM tuner that I normally listen to at a setting of 21-23 now I can set it at 14 and the radio stations are still clearly audible. The family notices the change as well.
This car usually burns a quart every 2000 miles. Although a pipe elbow has a slow drip to it which I have yet to cure (it's bad), I haven't noticed a reduction in the oil level.
Cheers,
Mark
