Yeah.... the Frantz and the Motorguard go back a ways. Seems like folks like the design of the Motorguards better....they've evolved
into a better filter.

Well all I have to tell ya thanks for the info PSnut and Heat, I cancelled my order for the FS2500 and went down to OilGuard's manafacturing plant in Oceanside and bought me one. The plant was impressive to say the least. Roy and son were very nice and informative. I found out that they also manafacture or sell all the types of filters on my truck, and half the price too. Thanks again guys.

Go to their website and request a kit. They will send you one sample kit when you send it back in for testing you can ask for additional kits. There is no charge untill they test your oil.
