Hi:
I am going to purchase a bypass filtering system for my 96 Caprice LT1, which I would like to keep for a long time. I have narrowed down my choices to either the Amsoil (single remote) or reworked Motorguard units.
The Amsoil unit appears to require less servicing (25K/annually per Amsoil using their oil) and is less messy. The additional filter cost over TP is not an issue. However, I have the following questions:
1. Is the Motorguard a more effective filter in real world use (i.e., the finer filtering capacity is actually of benefit in reducing wear) and
2. Is the more frequent Motorguard maintence, which requires adding a fresh quart of oil (thus replenishing the oil additives), a significant benefit as compared to not replenishing the oil for a year or more.
Any other considerations.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
John
