How many of you have the Amsoil aux./secondary oil filter set up or similar? What are the benefits of this set up?

Also how many of you use the Nicktane or Mega aux./secondary fuel filters? As I understand it the benefits of this are that it helps to keep sediment from getting in the injectors and burning them up correct?

I don't do much pulling but I do put allot of miles on and plan one running it for along time. So I am thinking for longivity of motor that adding both of these to the truck would be a good idea. What do you guys think?

Also for those of you that have these set ups where did you find them at to buy them and what was the best price you found?

I have a Nicktane setup as a primary (installed between the tank and OEN filter) fuel filter and it does a real good job. You can only get it here on the internet from Nick.Recommend it.

I'm running the Racor 660R 2 micron setup between the tanks and the factory filter.

He is also an Amsoil dealer and would be able to help you on the bypass questions.

MEGA post O/E. I'm seriously considering an oil filter system. Maybe the Amsoil duel filter. I don't put a lot of miles on it, but am nutty about clean oil in my engine. (I want to keep the truck forever.) If I go from every 2,000 miles to every 5,000 miles on a change, it will pay for itself before long.
