What you say is indeed correct?

My '29 Tudor with a 59a engine has had a Frantz filter on it since 1958. Original owner builder runs one on his 260Z too. Modern toilet paper will NOT work! Biodegradable so they break down with water moisture. One has to buy there filter rolls now.

I agree fordwife, or find a company that make toilet paper that’s strong enough for the filter. It might work.
I don’t know how its use would work In the bathroom? Pretty rough stuff. Lol.

Agreed, it's not like toilet paper rolls are any cheaper than regular oil filters.

Since Frantz filters are bypass filters, they really are not much help on a flathead Ford that already has a bypass unit. If the engine originally had no filter, I think adding a Frantz would not be a bad idea.

On an engine with a full flow filter, adding a Frantz as a bypass unit allows smaller particles to be filtered out of the oil over time. Using a combination of full flow and bypass filters is a common practice in large over the road trucks and other commercial applications.
