Jay,

I am with  you on this one.

I use the system, and it has been as advertised, well made, well
documented .  The link http://www.fuelpolishing.com/msg3.htm is all I
could find, i.e. no direct web site, as they sell only to vendors.
Anyway this link may help establish some credibility, and offer another
source for those wanting a submicronic system.  Until this recent thread
on oil pressure I've not had issue to be concerned with the filter
system.  In fact the issue of needing to run synthetic, i.e. resistance
to acids  formation  in the oil ,since the oil is not changed, but
topped up with about 3/4 quart at filter change to replace what the
filter has absorbed and also the additive package of the new oil
reinforces the existing oil's additives. But with the thin base of most
synthetic is what troubles me, especially since the motor is at 115 k.
I'd like to just find a thicker based synthetic for engines like the
boxer.

Sincerely,
