Have one; using it.  Made by Frantz; chrome!  Only thing is (although it is
too resistive for 15# pressure 216, or even 60# 235), on a 216 there is no
way to "path" the oil "full flow filter" style; has to be installed as a
by-pass filter.  I figure it cleans 1 out of 10 passes through the engine &
don't start with the paper dust contaminating the oil conversation (again);
it's the lesser of the two evils (dirt from the road or paper dust) & I just
live with the shortcoming.  ;-)
