Well here we find ourselves post Christmas already. Looking forward to the new year and warmer weather so we can get back on the water once again. I decided to take some time to talk about a product I really believe in. It is a bypass oil filter made by Gulf Coast oil filters. I installed this on my trawler over two years ago and can't say enough good things about it. I still use a normal Perkins oil filter on the engine but with the addition of the bypass filter I am now keeping my oil clean and fresh. I change filters in the Gulf Coast oil filter every 200 hours and add 1.5 gal. of make up oil. This is in place of doing an oil change on the engine. I also replace the conventional oil filter at this time. I send in oil samples on a regular basis to the lab to keep track of things. I can't tell you how happy I am with the results. This is a product that I believe in and recommend. There would be too much information to pass along so I am just posting a link to their website.
